Farewell To Tarwathie

[INTRO:] C    F  C    F   C     Em  Am  C     F   C

[VERSE 1:]
                        F            C
Farewell to Tarwathie, adieu Mormond Hill
                                F          C
And the dear land of Crimond, I bid ye farewell
                   Em            Am       C
I am bound out for Greenland and ready to sail
                          F           C
In hopes to find riches a-hunting the whale


[VERSE 2:]
                                F             C
Oh, adieu to my comrades, for a while we must part
                                F            C
And likewise the dear lass that first won my heart
                    Em           Am            C
Oh, the cold ice of Greenland my love will not chill
                                F             C       F  C
And the longer my absence, more loving she'll feel


[VERSE 3:]
                                  F        C
Our ship is well rigged and she's ready to sail
                             F          C
Our crew they are anxious to follow the whale
                      Em            Am           C
Where the icebergs do float and the stormy winds blow
                                 F            C
Where the land and the ocean are covered with snow


[VERSE 4:]
                                 F          C
The cold coasts of Greenland are barren and bare
                            F          C
No seed-time nor harvest is ever known there
                           Em         Am           C
Though the birds here sing sweetly on mountain and dale
                                 F           C
There is no bird in Greenland to sing to the whale


[INSTRUMENTAL:] C    F  C    F  C    Em  Am  C     F  C


[VERSE 5:]
                             F           C
There is no habitation for a man to live there
                                    F                C
And the king of that country is the fierce Greenland bear
                     Em        Am         C
There will be no temptation to tarry long there
                                   F          C
With our ship bumper full, we will homeward repair
