We all act.
I mean it's an act.
I mean I'm not being myself now.
I'm in front of television cameras holding a guitar.
I mean, in [F#] a way I'm playing the part [E] of a folk singer.
You [D#] know, if I went home tonight and sat at the kitchen and acted like this, I'd probably get my dinner thrown at me.
So we all act.
I mean that's one thing I used to think.
I forget when it dawned on me, but to go out on a stage and [G] to sing songs is acting.
You know, it's just [F] that you're acting the [G] singer.
That's what I think anyway.
You may travel [C] far, far from [F] your own native [G] home.
[C] Far away are the mountains, [G] far away [C] are the foam.
But of all the fine places [G] that I've [A] ever seen,
[Am] [C] there's none to compare with [F] the cliffs of [G] Dunain.
It's a nice [C] place to be on a [F] fine summer's [G] day,
watching all the wildflowers [G] that ne'er [C] do decay.
And the hare and lofty pheasant [G] are plenty to be seen,
[Am] [C] making homes for their young round [F] the cliffs of [G] Dunain.
Fare thee well [C] to Dunain, fare thee [F] well for a [G] while.
And to all the fine people [G] I'm [C] leaving behind,
to the streams and the meadows [G] where'er I [A] have been,
[C] and the high rocky slopes [F] of the cliffs [G] of Dunain,
you may travel [C] far, far [F] from your own [G] native home.
