I wAment to see old friends there, Gto see what they might Amsay
The old Amones were all dead and gone, Cthe young ones turning Ggray

Capo 2

[Verse]

Am G Am

Last night as I lay dreaming, of pleasant days gone by

Am C G

My mind was bent on rambling, and to Boston I did fly

Am C G

I stepped on board a vision, and I followed with the will

Am G Am

Till at last, I came to anchor at the rocks on Fairmount Hill

[Verse]

Am G Am

It was on the 23rd of June, one day before the fair

Am C G

When Boston’s sons and daughters and friends assembled there

Am C G

The young, the old, the brave and the bold, came their duty to fulfill

Am G Am

At the parish church on Thatcher, a mile from Fairmount Hill

Am G Am

I went to see old friends there, to see what they might say

Am C G

The old ones were all dead and gone, the young ones turning gray

Am C G

I met the broker Hughes, he's as odd as ever still

Am G Am

See I used to crash at his mother's house, when I hung on Fairmount Hill

[Verse]

Am G Am

I paid a flying visit to my first and only love

Am C G

She's as white as any lily, and as gentle as a dove

Am C G

She threw her arm around me saying, "Andy I love you still"

Am G Am

Oh, she's one miss Fayes O’Bailey, the pride of Fairmount Hill

Am G Am

I dreamt I'd fought a violent war for the hand of this darling gal

Am C G

A-gainst an angry jealous foe by the name of Danny Gill

[Outro]

Am C G

The clock it rang in the morning, it rang both loud and shrill

Am G Am

When I awoke in Cali-fornia, many miles from Fairmount Hill
