Well this is a Bascom Lamar Lunsford song, but this is how I think Bonnie 'Prince' Billy plays it.
........D..........D...........G............ D  
Oh, 'tis sad to be parted from those that we love
.......D........G.......A.......A  
Strange faces we see every day
......D.............D.......G..........D  
Each heart string of mine is broken in time
........D......A..........A.........D  
When I think of those dear ones at home.
A................A..........D............D  
Goodbye dear old stepstone, goodbye to my home
....G............G.............A.........A  
God bless those I leave with a sigh
.....D.............D............G.........D  
I'll cherish fond memories when I am far away
....D.............A.........A......D  
To roam over this wide world alone.
...D.........D............G...........D  
I stood on my doorstep each evening and morn
....D...........G.............A.........A  
The wind whispered by with a moan
.....D.............D.............G.........D  
The fields may be whitening, but I will be gone
....D............A..........A.......D  
To roam over this wide world alone.
A................A..........D............D  
Goodbye dear old stepstone, goodbye to my home
....G............G.............A.........A  
God bless those I leave with a sigh
.....D.............D............G.........D  
I'll cherish fond memories when I am far away
....D.............A.........A......D  
To roam over this wide world alone.
...D...........D...............G............D  
I stood on my doorstep when school time was o'er
......D............G..........A.........A  
And I wish for the time to go by
D............D............G..............D  
Now it has passed, and I stand here tonight
....D............A............A......D  
To bid this old stepstone goodbye.
A................A..........D............D  
Goodbye dear old stepstone, goodbye to my home
....G............G.............A.........A  
God bless those I leave with a sigh
.....D.............D............G.........D  
I'll cherish fond memories when I am far away
....D.............A.........A......D  
To roam over this wide world alone.
