[Verse 1]
B                      D
Today's the day you're going away
       A
It's a silver dawn, Danny
           B               D
Yes it's a silver dawn and you're still younger
         A
than you wanted to be.

[Chorus 1]
        Em            A
But you got to decide now, Danny
     Em              A
It's merely too late now, Danny
       Em         A
You're going away now, Danny
   Em        A
Forever away now, Danny
D                       C
Tell her a little white lie
D                       C
Tell her a little white lie
D                       C
Tell her a little white lie
D                       C
Tell her a little white lie

[Verse 2]
B                    D
You know she knows I think you better
        A
Talk it out with her (out with her)
           B                 D
They want you to go, it's an honour you know
              A
Why can't you make that decision, Danny.
    B                D
You don't need me to say it's fate
         A
But I do grieve for you, Danny


[Chorus 2]
         Em       A
But it's 20 below now, Danny
     Em              A
It's snowing outside now, Danny
     Em              A
Come out of the cold now, Danny
    Em               A
Sit down by the fire now, Danny
D                      C
Tell me a little white lie
D                      C
Tell me a little white lie
D                      C
Tell me a little white lie
D                      C
Tell me a little white lie
