G                C       G
The fire is out, the moon is down.
      Em              D
The parting glass is dry and done.
    G              C          G
And I must go and leave this town
   Em             D       G
Before the rising of the sun.
     Em                  Bm
And long's the road and far's the mile
   C      G       D
Before I rest my soul again,
      G                   C           G
With girls that weep and girls that smile
     Em      C         D       G
And all the words and ways of men.

[Verse]
     G                    C       G
For some there are, that may not bide
     Em             D
But wander to the journey's end,
     G             C      G
Nor take a girl to be a bride
     Em           D     G
Nor keep a man to be a friend.
     Em                 Bm
And when I'm done with wandering
      C     G        D
I'll sit beside the road and weep
     G               C       G
For all the songs I did not sing
     Em   C     D       G
And promises I did not keep.
