Far Away In Australia Song Lyrics With Chords In The Key Of C Major

[C]Sweetheart I'm bidding you a[F] fond fare[C]well
Murmured the[F] youth one[G] day
I'm[F] off to a[G] new land my[F] fortune to to[C] try
And I'm ready to[G] sail a[C]way
[Chorus]
Far[C] a[Am]way in Aus[Em]trali[G]a,[C]soon will[Em] faith be[F] kind
And[C] I will be[Em] ready to[F] welcome the[C] lass
The girl I[G] left be[C]hind
 
Must we be parted this fair maid cried
I cannot let you go
Still I must leave you,the young man replied
But for only a while you know
 
Wheather it's success or failure
I will always be true
Proudly each day in a land far away
I'll be building a home for you
 
Daily she waits at the old cottage gates
Watching the whole day through
Till a sweet message comes over the waves
In a new world to join two 
An old Irish harp player
