_ _ _ _ _ _ Oh, it's fairly well, [E] my [B] darling true,
I'm leaving the first hour [F#] of the morning.
[B] I'm bound off for the [E] Bay of [B] Mexico,
or [F#] maybe the coast of [B] California.
_ _ [F#] Oh, it's fairly [E] well, my [B] own true love,
we'll meet another [C#] place another [F#] time.
[B] It ain't _ _ [E] believin', that's a grievin' [F#] me,
but my true love is bound [B] to stay behind. _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I will tell you of [D#m] the laughter
and [E] the troubles [B] I have known,
be it somebody [F#] else's or my own.
With [B] my hands in my pockets and [G#m] my cold [B] collar high,
I will travel unnoticed and unknown.
_ So [F#] it's fairly well, [E] my [B] own true love,
we'll meet another place another [F#] _
time.
It [B] ain't _ believin', [E] that's a grievin' me,
[F#] but my true love is bound to [B] stay behind.

_ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Oh, the weather is against me,
[E] and the wind she [B] blows hard,
the rain's turnin' [F#] into hail.
_ [B] But I still must try to get lucky
[E] on the highway [B] goin' west,
or [F#] travelin' on a path beaten trail.
[B] _ [F#] Oh, it's fairly well, [E] my [B] own true love,
we'll meet another [F#] place another time.
[B] It ain't _ _ [E] believin', that's a grievin' [F#] me,
but my true love is bound [B] to stay behind. _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [B] _ _ _

_ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ I've heard tales of a town
[E] that I [B] might as well be bound.
It's down around the [F#] Mexican plain.
_ [B] They say that the people [E] are all friendly [B] there,
and all they [F#] ask of you [B] is your name.
[F#] So it's fairly [E] well, my [B] own true love,
we'll meet another [F#] place another time.
[B] It ain't _ _ believin', [E] that's a grievin' me,
[F#] but my true love is [B] bound to stay behind. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [G] We'll do a tune here from Bela's album. _
_ Actually, it was [D] this very band
that did your new album, right?
The same personnel with addition of Mark [E] O'Connor
is on a couple of cuts, I think.
_ And this is an original Bela's called Natchez [Gm] Trace.
