Farewell
Bob Dylan
 
*Concert Tuning*
 
G                       C       G
Oh it's faretheewell my darling true
 
                   C                 D
I'm leavin' in the first hour of the morn
 
    G                        C    G
I'm bound off for the bay of Mexico
 
             D        G
Or maybe the coast of Californ
 
(chorus)
        D               C        G
So It's faretheewell my own true love
 
                                D
We'll meet another day, another time
 
             G                C        G
It ain't the leavin' that's a-grievin' me
 
                       D             G
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
       {darlin' }
 
Oh, the weather is against me and the wind blows hard
The rain, she's a-turning into hail
I still might strike it lucky on a highway goin' west
though I'm travelin' on a path beaten trail
 
I will write you a letter from time to time
As I'm ramblin', you can travel with me too
With my head, my heart, and my hands my love
I will send what I learn back home to you
 
I will tell you of the laughter and of troubles
Be them someone elses or my own
With my hands in my pocket and my coat collar high
I will travel unnoticed and unknown
 
I've heard tell of a town where I might as well be bound
It's down around the old Mexican Plains
They say that the people are all friendly there
And all they ask of you is your name
