[Verse 1]

        A                 D       
Oh it's fare thee well my darlin' 
A
true,
    A              D              
I'm leavin' in the first hour of 
   E
the morn.
    A                        D   A
I'm bound off for the bay of Mexico
   A         E            A
Or maybe the coast of Californ.
        E                 D/F#     
So it's fare thee well my one true 
A
love,
      A      D     A            
We'll meet another day, another 
E
time.
             A
It ain't the leavin'
         D        A
That's a-grievin' me
       A               E          
But my true love who's bound to 
     A
stay behind.


[Verse 2]


        A                 D       
Oh the weather is against me and the
A
 wind blows hard
    A              D              
And the rain she's a-turnin' into 
   E
hail.
    A                        D   
I still might strike it lucky on a 
A
highway goin' west,
   A         E            A
Though I'm travelin' on a path 
beaten trail.
        E                 D/F#     
So it's fare thee well my own true 
A
love,
      A      D     A            
We'll meet another day, another 
E
time.
             A
It ain't the leavin'
         D        A
That's a-grievin' me
       A               E          
But my true love who's bound to 
     A
stay behind.

        A                 D       
I will write you a letter from time 
A
to time,
    A              D              
As I'm ramblin' you can travel 
   E
with me too.
    A                        D   
With my head, my heart and my hands,
A
 my love,
   A         E            A
I will send what I learn back home 
to you.
        E                 D/F#

E
time.

It ain't the leavin'
         D        A

       A               E          
But my true love who's bound to 
     A
stay behind.


[Verse 4]


        A                 D       
I will tell you of the laughter and 
A
of troubles,
    A              D              
Be them somebody else's or my own.
   E

    A                        D   
With my hands in my pockets and my 
A
coat collar high,
   A         E            A
I will travel unnoticed and unknown.
        E                 D/F#     
So it's fare thee well my own true 
A
love,
      A      D     A            
We'll meet another day, another 
E
time.

It ain't the leavin'
         D        A
That's a-grievin' me
       A               E          
But my true love who's bound to 
     A
stay behind.


[Verse 5]


        A                 D       
I've heard tell of a town where I 
A
might as well be bound,
    A              D           
It's down around the old Mexican 
      E
plains.
    A                        D   
They say that the people are all 
A
friendly there
   A         E            A
And all they ask of you is your 
name.
        E                 D/F#     
So it's fare thee well my own true 
A
love,
      A      D     A            
We'll meet another day, another 
E
time.
             A
It ain't the leavin'
         D        A
That's a-grievin' me
       A               E          
But my true love who's bound to 
     A
stay behind.



The difficult way!
