[Start]

[Intro]

[Verse]
C                       F      C        
■ Fare thee well to you my own true love
                     G         
There were many fare thee wells
C                         F
I am bound for California ■
C              G      C         
■ A place that I know right well


[Chorus]
G                 F      C        
So fare thee well my own true love
                        G      
When I return united we will be
         C                        F    C         
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
                    G       C      
But my darling when I think of thee


[Verse]
                F      C           
I am bound on a Yankee clipper ship
                 G       
Davy Crockett is her name
C                         F  C      
And her Captain's name it is Burgess
                  G       C            
And they say that she's a floating hell


[Chorus]
G                 F      C        
So fare thee well my own true love
                        G      
When I return united we will be
         C                        F    C         
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
                      G     C      
But my darling when I think of thee


[Verse]
                    F            C     
Oh I've sailed with Burgess once before
              G            
And I think I know him well
C                      F        C    
If a man's a sailor he will get along
                 G         C      
If he's not then he's sure to tell


[Chorus]
G                 F      C        
So fare thee well my own true love
                     G         
When I return united we will be
         C              G              F       C 
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
                    G       C      
But my darling when I think of thee


[Verse]
                      F       C   
Oh the ship is in the harbour love
                     G     
And you know I can't remain
C                             F      C        
Though I know that it will be a long long time
         G   C        
Before I see you again


[Chorus]
G            F           C        
So fare thee well my own true love
                        G      
When I return united we will be
         C                        F    C         
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
                    G C            
But my darling when I think of thee
G                 F      C        
So fare thee well my own true love
                        G      
When I return united we will be
             C                    F    C         
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
                    G       C      
But my darling when I think of thee
