[C]The north-east shore and the river valleys
[F]Fare thee we[G]ll Northumberland [C]
I may not [F]stay, I'm bound for leaving[C]
[C]I'm bound to ramble and to roa[Bb]m
I only sa[C]y my heart is grie[C]ving
I would[F] not gamble[G] on my coming home[C]

[Cm]Roll on, geordie boy, roll
[Cm]Roll on, geordie boy, roll
Roll on, geordi[Bb]e boy, roll [Cm]
[C]So drive me down to the central station
[F]I hate to lea[G]ve my River Tyne [C]
[C]For some damn town that's god-forsaken
[F]Goodbye ol[G]d friend of mine [C]
[F]Although I'll go where the[C] lady takes me
[C]She'll never tell what's in h[G]er hand
I do n[C]ot know what fate awaits me
Fa[F]re thee well[G], Northumberland[C]
