A A7 D E 3x
[Verse 1]
A Bm7 E
Fare thee well my darlin' true
A D/F# E7
I'm leavin' in the hours of the morn
A Bm7 E
I'm bound for the bay of Mexico
A E7 A
Or maybe the coast of Californ'
[Chorus]
E D A
It's fare thee well my own true love
A A7 D Bm7 E7
We'll meet another day, another time
A Bm7 E7
It's not the leavin' that's a-grievin' me
A E A A7 D E
But my darlin' who's bound to stay behind
A A7 D E 2x
[Verse 2]
A Bm7 E
I'll write you a letter from time to time
A D/F# E7
While I ramble you can travel with me, too
A Bm7 E
With my head, my heart and my hands, my love
A E7 A
I'll write what I know back home to you
[Chorus]
E D A
So it's fare thee well my own true love
A A7 D Bm7 E7
We'll meet another day, another time
A Bm7 E7
It's not the leavin' that's a-grievin' me
A E A A7 D E
But my darlin' who's bound to stay behind
A A7 D E 2x
[Verse 3]
A Bm7 E
I'll write you of troubles and of laughter
A D/F# E7
Be them somebody else's or my own
A Bm7 E
With my hands in my pocket, and my coat collar high
A E7 A
I will travel unnoticed and unknown
[Chorus]
E D A
So it's fare thee well my own true love
A A7 D Bm7 E7
We'll meet another day, another time
A Bm7 E7
It's not the leavin' that's a-grievin' me
A E A A7 D E
But my darlin' who's bound to stay behind
A A7 D E 2x
