Farewell

G                        C/G     G
Oh it's fare the well my darling true
    G                                D/F#
I'm leaving in the first hour of the morn
    G                          C/G  G
I'm bound off for the coast of Mexico
   G         D/F#            G  C/G G
Or maybe the coast of Californ'
        D/F#              C/G      G
So it's fare the well, my own true love
      G                         D/F#
We'll meet another day, another time
             G      C/G G
It ain't the leaving
         C/G        G
That's a-grievin’ me
       G               D/F#          G
But my true love who's bound to stay behind

G                                    C/G        G
Oh the weather is against me and the wind blows hard
        G                         D/F#
And the rain she’s a-turnin’ into hail
  G                                C/G            G
I still might strike it lucky on a highway going’ west
           G               D/F#            G  C/G G
Though I’m traveling’ on a path beaten trail
        D/F#              C/G      G
So it’s fare thee well my own true love
      G                         D/F#
We’ll meet another day, another time
             G      C/G G
It ain’t the leaving
         C/G        G
That’s a-grievin’ me
       G               D/F#          G
But my true love who’s bound to stay behind

G                              C/G     G
I will write you a letter from time to time
       G                                 D/F#
As I’m rambling’ you can travel with me too
        G                        C/G       G
With my head and my heart and my hands, my love
       G           D/F#               G  C/G G
I will send what I learn back home to you

G                                          C/G    G
I will tell you of the laughter and of the troubles
        G                     D/F#
Be them somebody else’s or my own
        G                          C/G         G
With my hands in my pockets and my coat collar high
       G      D/F#                G  C/G G
I will travel unnoticed and unknown
        D/F#              C/G      G
So it's fare the well, my own true love
      G                         D/F#
We'll meet another day, another time
             G      C/G G
