Standard tuning – Capo 5
[Verse 1]
G
I saw the light fade from the sky
On the wind I heard a sigh
(picking) Em C Em C
As the snowflakes covered my fallen brothers
(picking) G C G
I will say this last goodbye
[Bridge]
Em C
Night is now falling
G D
So ends this day
Em C
The road is now calling
G D
And I must away
Em C
Over hill and under tree
Am C
Through lands where never light is shined
G
By silver streams
C D
That run down to the sea
[Hook 1]
Em C
Under cloud, beneath the stars
Am C
Over snow and winters moor
G C D Am
I turn it last to paths that lead home
C Em
And though where the road then takes me
D Am C
I cannot tell, we came all this way
Em
But now comes the day
D
To bid you farewell
[Verse 2]
(start picking)
G C G
Many places I have been
G C G
Many sorrows I have seen
Em C
But I don't regret
Em C
Nor will I forget
G C G
All that took that road with me
[Bridge]
Em C
Night is now falling
G D
So ends this day
Em C
The road is now calling
G D
And I must away
(stop picking)
Em C
Over hill and under tree
Am C
Through lands where never light is shined
G
By silver streams
C D
That run down to the sea
[Hook 2]
Em C
Towards these memories I will hold
Am C
With your blessing I will go
G C D Am
To turn at last to paths that lead home
C Em
And though where the road then takes me
D Am C
I cannot tell, we came all this way
Em
But now comes the day
D
To bid you farewell
