[G]Farewell to you my[C] own true[G] love,
I am going far,far a[D]way, I am[G] bound for Cali[C]forni[G]a, And I know that I'll re[D]turn some[G] day. [Chorus] So [D]fare thee well my [C]own true [G]love, When I return [C]united [G]we will [D]be, Its not the [G]leaving of Liverpool that[C] grieves [G]me, But my darling when I [D]think of G]thee. [2] I have slipped on board a Yankee ship Davey Crockett is her name, And her captain it is Burgees, And they say that she's a floating hell. [3] I have sailed with Burgess once before, And I think I know him well, If a man's a salor he will get along, If not then he's sure for hell. [4] Oh the sun is in the harbour love, And I wish I could remain, For I know it will be a long,long time, Before I see you again. Here's the chords as played by The Dubliners.
