Sweetheart I'm bidding you a fond farewell
             F         G
Murmured the youth one day
   Am         G           F          C
I'm bound for new land my fortune to try

And I'm ready to sail away

Far a--way in Aus-trali-a, soon will faith be kind
    Am        G       F           Am
And I will be ready to welcome the lass
   C       G       C
The girl I left be-hind

C                            F        C

         F       G
I cannot let you go
 Am          G             F         C
Still I must leave you,the young man replied

          F       G
I will al-ways be true
Am          G        F          C
Daily each day in a land far a-way

I'll be building a home for you

Daily she waits at the old cottage gates
             F         G
Watching the whole day through
Am            G             F        C
Till a sweet message comes over the waves
               G         C
In a new world I'll join two

    C           Am    G   C         G       F
Far a--way in Aus-trali-a, soon will faith be kind
    Am        G       F           Am
And I will be ready to welcome the lass
   C       G       C
The girl I left be-hind
