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