Fare Thee Well Chords

(ver. 1)
Liam Clancy
[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
