[INTRO]
[D] [G] [D] [G] [D]
[VERSE 1]
Oh, it's fare thee well my [G]darlin' [D]true
I'm leavin' in the [G]first hour of the [A]morn
I'm [D]bound off for the Bay of [G]Mexi[D]co
Or maybe the [A]coast of Cali[D]forn
[CHORUS]
So it's [A]fare[G] thee [D]well my one true love
We'll meet a[G]nother [D]day, another [A]time
It ain't the [D]leavin'
That's a-[G]grievin' [D]me
But my true love who's [A]bound to stay be[D]hind
[VERSE 2]
Oh, the weather is against me and the [G]wind blows [D]hard
And the rain she's a-[G]turnin' into [A]hail
I [D]still might strike it lucky on a [G]highway goin' [D]west
Though I'm [A]travelin' on a path beaten [D]trail
[CHORUS]
So it's [A]fare[G] thee [D]well my one true love
We'll meet a[G]nother [D]day, another [A]time
It ain't the [D]leavin'
That's a-[G]grievin' [D]me
But my true love who's [A]bound to stay be[D]hind
[VERSE 3]
I will write you a letter from [G]time to [D]time
As I'm ramblin' you can [G]travel with me [A]too
With my [D]head, my heart and my [G]hands, my [D]love
I will send what I [A]learn back home to [D]you
[CHORUS]
So it's [A]fare[G] thee [D]well my one true love
We'll meet a[G]nother [D]day, another [A]time
It ain't the [D]leavin'
That's a-[G]grievin' [D]me
But my true love who's [A]bound to stay be[D]hind
[VERSE 4]
I will tell you of the [G]laughter and of [D]troubles
Be them some[G]body else's or my [A]own
With my [D]hands in my pockets and my [G]coat collar [D]high
I will travel un[A]noticed and un[D]known
[CHORUS]
So it's [A]fare[G] thee [D]well my one true love
We'll meet a[G]nother [D]day, another [A]time
It ain't the [D]leavin'
That's a-[G]grievin' [D]me
But my true love who's [A]bound to stay be[D]hind
[VERSE 5]
I've heard tell of a town where I [G]might as well be [D]bound
It's down around the old [G]Mexican [A]plains
They [D]say that the people are all [G]friendly [D]there
And all they [A]ask of you is your [D]name
[CHORUS]
So it's [A]fare[G] thee [D]well my one true love
We'll meet a[G]nother [D]day, another [A]time
It ain't the [D]leavin'
That's a-[G]grievin' [D]me
But my true love who's [A]bound to stay be[D]hind
