Liam Clancy - Fare Thee Well
[INTRO:] G C G C G C D G
[VERSE 1:]
C G
Oh, fare thee well my darling true
D
I'm leaving the first hour of the morn'
G C G
I'm bound all for the Bay of Mexico
C D G
Or maybe the coast of Californ'
[CHORUS:]
D C G
Then fare thee well my own true love
Em D
We'll meet another day, another time
C G C G
It's not a leaving that's grieving me
C D G
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
[VERSE 2:]
C G
I've heard of a city where I might as well be bound
D
Down among the Mexican plain
G C G
They say that the people are all friendly there
C D G
All they ask of you is your name
[CHORUS:]
D C G
So, fare thee well my own true love
Em D
We'll meet another day, another time
C G C G
It's not a leaving that's grieving me
C D G
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
[VERSE 3:]
C G
Oh, the weather is against me and the wind is blowing hard
D
And the rain is turning into hail
G C G
But I still might strike it lucky on a highway going west
C D G
Though I'm travelling along a lonesome trail
[CHORUS:]
D C G
Then fare thee well my own true love
Em D
We'll meet another day, another time
C G C G
It's not a leaving that's grieving me
C D G
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
[INSTRUMENTAL:] G C ~ G C G C D G
[VERSE 4:]
C G
I write to you of the laughter and the sorrow
D
Be they somebody else's or my own
G C G
With my hands in my pockets and my coat collar high
C D G
I'll travel unnoticed and alone
[CHORUS:]
D C G
Then fare thee well my own true love
Em D
We'll meet another day, another time
C G C G
It's not a leaving that's grieving me
C D G
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
