Standard tuning – Capo 5
G I saw the light fade from the sky G On the wind I heard a sigh (picking) EmCEmC As the snowflakes covered my fallen brothers (Picking) GCG I will say this last good-bye
EmC Night is now falling GD So ends this day EmC The road is now calling GD And I must a-way EmC Over hill and under tree AmC Through lands where never light is shined G By silver streams CDDsus4D That run down to the sea
EmC Under cloud, beneath the stars AmC Over snow and winters morn' GCD I turn it last to paths that lead home AmC And though where the road then takes me EmDAmC I cannot tell, we came all this way Em But now comes the day D To bid you fare-well
(picking) GCG Many places I have been (picking) GCG Many sorrows I have seen (picking) EmC But I don't re-gret (picking) EmC Nor will I for-get (Picking) GCGF#/D All that took that road with me
(picking) EmCGD Night is now falling So ends this day (picking) EmCGD The road is now calling And I must a-way EmC Over hill and under tree AmC Through lands where never light is shined G By silver streams CD That run down to the sea
EmC Towards these memories I will hold AmC With your blessing I will go GCD To turn at last to paths that lead home AmC And though where the road then takes me EmDAmC I cannot tell, we came all this way Em But now comes the day D To bid you fare-well
