Judy Collins - Farewell
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
D G D G D
[Verse 1]
G D
Oh, it's fare thee well my darlin' true
G A
I'm leavin' in the first hour of the morn
D G D
I'm bound off for the Bay of Mexico
A D
Or maybe the coast of Californ
[Chorus]
A G D
So it's fare thee well my one true love
G D A
We'll meet another day, another time
D
It ain't the leavin'
G D
That's a-grievin' me
A D
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
[Verse 2]
G D
Oh, the weather is against me and the wind blows hard
G A
And the rain she's a-turnin' into hail
D G D
I still might strike it lucky on a highway goin' west
A D
Though I'm travelin' on a path beaten trail
[Chorus]
A G D
So it's fare thee well my one true love
G D A
We'll meet another day, another time
D
It ain't the leavin'
G D
That's a-grievin' me
A D
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
[Verse 3]
G D
I will write you a letter from time to time
G A
As I'm ramblin' you can travel with me too
D G D
With my head, my heart and my hands, my love
A D
I will send what I learn back home to you
[Chorus]
A G D
So it's fare thee well my one true love
G D A
We'll meet another day, another time
D
It ain't the leavin'
G D
That's a-grievin' me
A D
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
[Verse 4]
G D
I will tell you of the laughter and of troubles
G A
Be them somebody else's or my own
D G D
With my hands in my pockets and my coat collar high
A D
I will travel unnoticed and unknown
[Chorus]
A G D
So it's fare thee well my one true love
G D A
We'll meet another day, another time
D
It ain't the leavin'
G D
That's a-grievin' me
A D
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
[Verse 5]
G D
I've heard tell of a town where I might as well be bound
G A
It's down around the old Mexican plains
D G D
They say that the people are all friendly there
A D
And all they ask of you is your name
[Chorus]
A G D
So it's fare thee well my one true love
G D A
We'll meet another day, another time
D
It ain't the leavin'
G D
That's a-grievin' me
A D
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
