Fare Thee Well Chords

Capo on 3rd Fret
 
 
[Verse 1]
G                         C/G     G
Oh it’s fare thee well my darlin’ true
G                  C                 D    Csus  D
I’m leavin’ in the first hour of the morn
G                     C      G
I’m bound off for the bay of Mexico
             D        G
Or maybe the coast of Californ
 
 
[Chorus]
   D                   C        G
So it’s fare thee well my own true love
                          D
We’ll meet another place, another time
             G
It ain’t the leavin’
         C/G
That’s a-grievin’ me
D                                    G
But my true love who’s bound to stay behind
 
 
[Verse 2]
       G                                C/G             G
I will tell you of the laughter and the troubles I have seen
G                           D  Csus  D
Be it somebody else’s or my own
G                                  C           G
With my hands in my pockets and my coat collar high
                D            G
I will travel unnoticed and unknown
 
 
[Chorus]
   D                   C        G
So it’s fare thee well my own true love
                          D
We’ll meet another place, another time
             G
It ain’t the leavin’
         C/G
That’s a-grievin’ me
D                                    G
But my true love who’s bound to stay behind
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                                    C/G            G
Oh the weather is against me and the wind she blows hard
G                    C               D  Csus  D
And the rain she’s a-turnin’ into hail
G                                  C             G
I still might strike it lucky on a highway goin’ west
                  D           G
Or travelin’ on a path beaten trail
 
 
[Chorus]
   D                   C        G
So it’s fare thee well my own true love
                          D
We’ll meet another place, another time
             G
It ain’t the leavin’
         C/G
That’s a-grievin’ me
D                                    G
But my true love who’s bound to stay behind
 
 
[Verse 4]
G                                 C/G              G
I’ve heard tales of a town that I might as well be bound
G                            D      Csus  D
It’s down around the Mexican plains
G                                C        G
They say that the people are all friendly there
                    D           G
And all they ask of you is your name
 
 
[Chorus]
   D                   C        G
So it’s fare thee well my own true love
                          D
We’ll meet another place, another time
             G
It ain’t the leavin’
         C/G
That’s a-grievin’ me
D                                    G
But my true love who’s bound to stay behind
