[VERSE 1:]
Oh, fare thee well my [C]darling [G]true
I'm leaving the first hour of the [D]morn'
I'm [G]bound all for the Bay of [C]Mexi[G]co
Or maybe the [C]coast of[D] Cali[G]forn'
[CHORUS:]
Then [D]fare thee well my [C]own true [G]love
We'll meet another [Em]day, another [D]time
It's not a [C]leav[G]ing that's [C]grieving [G]me
But my true love who's [C]bound to [D]stay be[G]hind
[VERSE 2:]
I've heard of a city where I [C]might as well be [G]bound
Down among the Mexican [D]plain
They [G]say that the people are all [C]friendly [G]there
All they ask of [C]you[D] is your [G]name
[CHORUS:]
So, [D]fare thee well my [C]own true [G]love
We'll meet another [Em]day, another [D]time
It's not a [C]leav[G]ing that's [C]grieving [G]me
But my true love who's [C]bound to [D]stay be[G]hind
[VERSE 3:]
Oh, the weather is against me and the [C]wind is blowing [G]hard
And the rain is turning into [D]hail
But I [G]still might strike it lucky on a [C]highway going [G]west
Though I'm travelling a[C]long a [D]lonesome [G]trail
[CHORUS:]
Then [D]fare thee well my [C]own true [G]love
We'll meet another [Em]day, another [D]time
It's not a [C]leav[G]ing that's [C]grieving [G]me
But my true love who's [C]bound to [D]stay be[G]hind
[INSTRUMENTAL:] G C ~ G C G C D G
[VERSE 4:]
I write to you of the laughter and the [C]sor[G]row
Be they somebody else's or my [D]own
With my [G]hands in my pockets and my [C]coat collar [G]high
I'll travel un[C]noticed[D] and a[G]lone
[CHORUS:]
Then [D]fare thee well my [C]own true [G]love
We'll meet another [Em]day, another [D]time
It's not a [C]leav[G]ing that's [C]grieving [G]me
