[Bb] [G] [A] [Bb]
[G] [A] [Bb] There is a tavern in the town, [Gm] in the town, and there my true love [F] sits him down, sits
him down, oh [Bb] and drinks his wine [Eb] as merry as can [F] be, and never, never [Dm] thinks [Eb] of [Bb] me.
[F] Fare thee well, for I must leave thee, [Bb] do not let the parting greedy, all the [F] time is
come for you and [Bb] I do [Eb] say goodbye.
[Bb] Adieu, adieu, kind friends, adieu, yes, adieu, oh I can no [G] longer stay [F] with you, stay with
[Bb] you, oh I'll hang my [D] heart [Cm] on a weeping willow [F] tree.
Fare thee well, fare thee well, [Bb] fare thee well.
He left me for a damsel dark, damsel dark, each Friday night [Fm] they used to spark,
[Bb] used
And now my love, [Eb] who once was true to [Bb] me, [F] takes that [Fm] dark damsel [Dm] on his [Cm] [Bb] knee.
[F] Fare thee well, for I must leave thee, [Bb] do not let the parting greedy, [F] all the time is
come for [Bb] you and I do say goodbye.
Adieu, you kind friends, adieu, yes, adieu, oh I can no [Eb] longer [F] stay with you, stay with
[G] you, oh [Bb] I'll hang my heart [Cm] on a weeping willow [F] tree.
Fare thee well, fare thee well, fare thee well.
[G] And [A]
[Bb] now I see him never more, [Gm] never [Bb] more, he never, never knocks [Ab] at my door, knocks
at my door.
[F] Oh, [Bb] is [G] me, he's penned a [Eb] little note, [Fm] I'll read to you the [Gm] words he [Eb] wrote.
[Bb]
[F] Fare thee well, for I must leave thee, [Bb] do not let the parting greedy, [F] all the time is
come for [Bb] you and I do say [C] goodbye.
[Bb] Adieu, adieu, kind friends, adieu, yes, adieu, oh I can no longer [F] stay with you, stay with
you, [Bb] oh I'll hang my heart [Cm] on a weeping willow tree.
[F] Fare thee well, fare thee [Gm] well, fare thee well.
[Bb] Oh, dig my grave both wide and deep, wide and deep, put tombstones [Dm] at my head and [F] feet,
head and feet, oh and [Bb] on my breast [Eb] just carve a turtle dove [F] to signify I [Gm] died [Cm] for [Bb] love.
[Cm] Fare thee [F] well, for I must leave thee, [Bb] do not let the parting greedy, [F] all the time is
come for you and [Bb] I do [Eb] say [Gm] goodbye.
[Bb] Adieu, adieu, kind friends, adieu, yes, adieu, oh I can no longer [F] stay with you, stay with
you, [Bb] oh I'll hang my heart [Cm] on a weeping willow tree.
[F] Fare thee well, fare thee well, fare thee [Bb]
well.
