_ _ _ When I first come to this _ [G#] country _ _ _ [C#] in _ _ _ _ 1849
_ _ _ I saw _ many _ fair [G#] _ lovers I _ _ _ _ never _ saw _ _ _ _
I _ viewed it all around _ me, so [C#] I was quite _ alone
_ _ [G#]
And me, a [C#] poor stranger _ and a [A#m] long way
[C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Well, my true love, she won't [G#] have me
_ [C#] And it's this [F#] I _ [C#] understand _ _
_ For she wants some _
_ _ _ [G#] _ freeholder _ _
_ And [C#] I'll _ _ _ _
[G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ [G#] taint her _ [C#] on _ silver and gold
_ _ _ [B] All of the [C#] other fine things that my [A#m] love's house [C#] could hold
_ _ _ _ _ Fare thee well to, oh _ [G#] mother
_ _ _ Fare [F#] thee well to [C#] my father's home _
I'm _ going _ _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ this wide world [G#] all through _ _
_ And when _ [C#] _ I _ [G#] get weary, _ _ [G#m] _
[C#] I'll sit down and cry
And _ [G#] _ think of [C#] my Sarah, _ _ pretty [F#] Sarah
_ [C#] Well, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I wish I was a turtle [G#] _
dove
_ _ [C#] Had wings and could fly
_ Far away to my lover's _ [G#] _
lodging
_ _ _ Tonight [C#] _ _
I draw [G#] the _ line _
And there in [C#] her lily [G#m] white _ arms
[C#] I lay there all night
And _ [G#] watch through them [C#] little _ windows
[G#] For the [F#] _ dawning _ of [C#] day _ _ _
