G C G
The fire is out, the moon is down.
Em D
The parting glass is dry and done.
G C G
And I must go and leave this town
Em D G
Before the rising of the sun.
Em Bm
And long's the road and far's the mile
C G D
Before I rest my soul again,
G C G
With girls that weep and girls that smile
Em C D G
And all the words and ways of men.
[Verse]
G C G
For some there are, that may not bide
Em D
But wander to the journey's end,
G C G
Nor take a girl to be a bride
Em D G
Nor keep a man to be a friend.
Em Bm
And when I'm done with wandering
C G D
I'll sit beside the road and weep
G C G
For all the songs I did not sing
Em C D G
And promises I did not keep.
