I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

Until It's Time For You To Go
By Buffy Sainte-Marie
Rise Up Singing chapter: Love, p.128
C (bass line C, B, Bb) A / Dm (bass line D, C#, C) G7
C (bass line C, B, Bb) A / Dm G C -
You're not a dream, you're not an angel, you're a man
I'm not a queen, I'm a woman, take my hand
We'll make a space in the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go
Yes we're different, worlds apart, we're not the same
We laughed and played at the start like in a game
You could have stayed outside my heart but in you came
And here you'll stay until it's time for you to go
Bridge:
Fm - C - (2x) / E - Am - D - G -
Don't ask why, don't ask how
Don't ask forever, love me, love me now
This love of mine had no beginning, it has no end
I was an oak, now I'm a willow, now I can bend
And though I'll never in my life see you again
Still I'll stay until it's time for you to go
