The Leaving Of Liverpool Chords by The Dubliners

_ And when the boys asked me to come as a guest, he asked me to sing this.
[N] The Leaving of Liverpool.
I live for it. _ _ _ _

Fare thee well to you, [G] my old [D] true love
I am sailing far, far [A] away
_ I [D] am bound for _ [G] _ [D] California
And I know that I'll return some day _
[A] So fare thee well, my old true love
And when I return, united [A] we will be
It's not [D] the leaving of Liverpool [G] that [D] brings me
But my return, I think, haunts me _
I've sailed on the Yankee [G] sailing [D] ship
Davy Crockett is [A] far her name _
[D] And Burgess is dead [G] and cut [D] in a parlor
And they say that she's in floating hell
_ So [A] fare thee well, [G] my old [D] true love
And when I return, united we [A] will be
It's [D] not the leaving of Liverpool [G] that [D] brings me
But my return, [A] I think, [D] haunts me
By the way, I have _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
sailed with [G] Burgess once [D] before
He's a man I know [A] quite well
If [D] a man's a sailor, then [G] he'll get [D] along
If not, then [A] he's surely [D] in hell
I need a choir.
So [A] fare thee well, [G] my old [D] true love
And when I return, [A] united we will be
_ It's [D] not the leaving of Liverpool [G] that [D] brings me
But my return, I [A] think, [D] haunts me
Now this song shines on the [G] harbour [D] lot
I wish I could [A] remain _ _
[D] For I know it'll be a [G] long, [D] long time
Till I see you again
So [A] fare thee well, [G] my old [D] true love
And when I return, united we [A] will be
_ It's [D] not the leaving of Liverpool [G] that [D] brings me
But my return, I think, haunts me
Now this _ [A] song shines on the harbour lot
[G] I _ [D] _
wish I could remain
[A] For I know it'll be _ _ _
[D] _ a long, long time
[G] Till I [D] see _ _ [A] you again
_ [D] _ _ Till I see you again _ _
