[VERSE 1]
lt‘s a [Dm]great separation my [G]friends they have [F]caused me,
By [Dm]hearing their spite that my [G]favour was won.
lt‘s a [Dm]great separation, likewi[G]se a vex[F]ation,
And [Dm]they shall be sorry for [G]what they have done.

[VERSE 2]
Eat, dr[Dm]ink and be jolly and[G] care not for foll[F]y,
And[Dm] drowned away sorrow in a bo[G]ttle of wine.
Pass it[Dm] to the boys in full-flo[G]wing bum[F]pers,
And [Dm]play on the fiddle to pa[G]ss away time.

[VERSE 3]
Adieu t[Dm]o Bon County, I‘m bo[G]und for to leave y[F]ou,
And[Dm] seek my heart‘s fortune in [G]some foreign land.
Where b[Dm]ottles and glasses are m[G]y greate[F]st comfort,
And [Dm]when we do meet we will [G]join heart and hand.

[VERSE 4]
Farewel[Dm]l to my friends and [G]my good old neighb[F]ours,
Lik[Dm]ewise to the girl I will nev[G]er see more.
This wo[Dm]rld it is wide and I‘ll [G]spend it[F] in pleasures,
I ca[Dm]re for no one that won‘t[G] care for me.

[VERSE 5]
My fort[Dm]une is small and fre[G]ely I own it, [F]
Wha[Dm]t little I have it is all of[G] my own.
I might[Dm] have lived longer to en[G]joy it w[F]ith pleasure,
lf m[Dm]y poor friends had of le[G]t me alone.

[VERSE 6]
I have [Dm]money a plenty to be[G]ar my expenses, [F]
And[Dm] when it‘s all gone I‘ll cho[G]p wood and get more.
When de[Dm]ath it comes on me I‘ll [G]freely g[F]o with it,
Pay [Dm]up my last dues and go w[G]ith it home.
