Leaving of Liverpool - The Dubliners

C                    F        C
Fare thee well to you, my own true love,
                       G
I am sailing far far a--way
     C              F    C
I am bound for Cali--for--nia,
                         G          C
and I know, that I'll re--turn some day.
 
 
[Chorus] 
   G                 F        C
So fare the well, my own true love,
                                 G
and when I return united we will be.
             C                          F       C
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that, grieves me,
                      G        C
but my darling when I think of thee.

F    C
I will sail, on a yankee sail--ing ship,
                     G
Davy Crockett is her name.
    C                  F        C
And Burgess is the cap--tain of her,
                          G        C
and they say that she's a floating shame.
 
 
[Chorus]
   G                  F        C
So fare thee well, my own true love,
                                 G
and when I return united we will be.
             C                          F      C
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that, grieves me,
                      G        C
but my darling when I think of thee.
 
 
                           F       C
I have sailed with Burgess once be--fore,
                        G
he's a man I know right well,
     C                      F     C
If a man's a sailor he will get a--long,
                      G       C
if he's not then he's sure in Hell.
 
 
[Chorus]
   G                  F        C
So fare thee well, my own true love,
                                 G
and when I return united we will be.
             C                          F       C
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that, grieves me,
                      G        C
but my darling when I think of thee.
 
        C             F       C
Now the sun is on the harbor, love,
                      G
and I wish I could re--main,
      C                 F         C
for I know it will be a long long time
       G          C
till I see, you a--gain.
 
 
[Chorus]
   G                  F        C
So fare thee well, my own true love,
                                 G
and when I return united we will be.
             C                          F       C
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that, grieves me,
                      G        C
but my darling when I think of thee

G                 F        C
So fare the well, my own true love,
                                 G
and when I return united we will be.
             C                          F       C
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that, grieves me,
                      G        C
but my darling when I think of thee.

[Slowing Down]                            
but my darling when I (G*) think of (C*) thee.
