C Am Am7 F G

[Verse 1]
C                Am
You and I didn't see
              Em
the evening’s sky
            F          Em7
There was magic in the air
    Dm7              G
The time enough to spare
 C                 Am
Now in hours I have
        Em7
to say goodbye
           F             Em7
Well, you know I have to go
      Dm7             G
But still it hurts me so

[Ref]
                   C
I don't want this night to end
       Em7    Am7
Don't say goodbye
       F                  G
Just hold me close, my darling
                    C
I don’t want this night to end
    Am7
Pretend awhile
      F              G
And let's forget tomorrow

   F                Am7
Feeling blue I can see
             Em7
it in your eyes
           F           Em7
But I've got a job to do
Dm7                   G
Got to see things through
 C                      Am7
But I'll be near even when
              Em7
I am out of sight
            F             Em7
Counting seconds 'til the day
      Dm7           Gsus4
I'm coming home to stay

my heart beside you

When you go, oh

These are the chords for Satomi Hakken-Den by John O’Banion on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Satomi Hakken-Den by John O’Banion is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 14 chords: C, Am, Am7, F, G, Em, Em7, Dm7, Gsus4, G7, Fm7 and A#m7 and 2 more.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Am7 – F – G – C (vi7 – IV – V – I in C major). In solfa, that is lah – fah – soh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
