#1.
Eb Fm
When the quiet evening comes and the village
Ab Fm Bb
softly lies, twinkling in the shadow of the

mountain.
Eb Ab
When the twilight's muffled drums play tattoos
Bb
to the skies, and the heavens close their eyes,
Eb
I'll be gone.
#2.
Eb Fm
When the fisher folds his net, makes his craft
Bb Eb
secure, and gazes to the west for signs of weather.
Eb Ab
When he thinks of his table set, his children at
Bb Eb
the door, as he plods along the shore..I'll be gone.
INTERLUDE: Eb Bb Eb
#3.
Eb Fm
When the merchant draws his shade, counts the day’s
Bb Eb
receipts, and smiles, recalling bits of idle gossip.
Eb Ab
When the entries all are made in the ledger's tidy
Bb Eb
sheets as he shuffles down the streets..I'll be gone.
OUTRO:
Eb Fm
Tis pretty, but is chains, and I must be free.
Bb Eb
So, fare-thee-well, ye full, contented fellow.
Eb Ab Bb
No quiet life for me, no home, no family, now, and
Eb
endlessly..I'll be gone.
