Stay, as performed by Alison Krauss
written by Allyson Taylor-Larry Byrom
charted by Bo Frazer 
with help from Emer M. Doherty
-------------------------------------------
Notes: Alison does this in F#, (capo on fret #4)
If you can play the style where you hit the bass string and then
strum, then (on both verse and chorus) hit the bass notes in the
D to Em progression in a descending scale; i.e., 
D (xx0232@1) A/7  Bm (x24432@1)A (x02220@1)G (320003@1)D/3  Em (022000@1) so the bass notes are:
D (xx0232@1) C# (x43121@1) B (x2444x@1) A (x02220@1)G (320003@1)F# (244322@1) E (022100@1)Stay

Verse1:
D (xx0232@1)   A (x02220@1)      BmWhere (x24432@1)have you been,
   A (x02220@1)       GMy (320003@1)long lost friend? 
     D (xx0232@1)     Em (022000@1)      AIt's (x02220@1)good to see you again.
D (xx0232@1)      A (x02220@1)       BmCome (x24432@1)and sit for a while;
     A (x02220@1)         G (320003@1)
I've missed your smile.
  D (xx0232@1)     Em (022000@1)        AToday (x02220@1)the past is goodbye.
F (133211@1)  Em (022000@1)   D (xx0232@1)Time can't erase
F (133211@1)  Em (022000@1)    D (xx0232@1)  AA (x02220@1)lover's embrace.
                  BmCan't (x24432@1)you hear it calling?
          EA (022100@1)new day dawning
         G (320003@1)        F (133211@1)   G (320003@1)You were longing to find.

Verse2:
Love's taken you far 
Away from my heart, 
And I've been here all alone.
Have your eyes failed to find
What took you from mine,
A vision that's faded through time?
But you sail away,
Farther than a summer's day,
Cause you heard it calling,
A new day dawning,
You were longing to find.

Chorus:
D (xx0232@1)   A (x02220@1)  G (320003@1)    D (xx0232@1)      G (320003@1)   
There is a way to make you stay.
D (xx0232@1)    Em (022000@1)        A (x02220@1)Darlin don't turn away.
D (xx0232@1)   A (x02220@1)        G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)     G (320003@1)Don't doubt your heart, and keep us apart;
D (xx0232@1)       F (133211@1)       GI'm (320003@1)right where you are.
DStay. (xx0232@1)
(solo over verse)
