[Em] Of someone ap-[G]proaching, their boots scraping on the [D]ground.[Dsus4]       [D]

[A] As she looked out the window her heart pounded [G]in her breast,
[Em] A broken young [G]Bobby was clutching a [Dsus4]wounded [D]chest.

[Bm] She ran out to help ease his pain.
[G] He looked up and whispered her name.

[Bm] Then she cradled his head in her arms and he [G]smiled,
When he [A]heard his June say;

[G/D] Stay with me [A/D]Bobby; don't go a-[G/D]way from me [A]no[D]w.
I want you [G/D]say that you [A/D]love me; don't go a-[G/D]way from me [A]no[D]w.
I [G/A]want you to [D]stay.
