Fare Thee Well, Cisco Chords by Tom Paxton

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ While walking through the railroad [E] yard on a cold and [B] rainy night,
[E] I saw a [B] string of old [C#] boxcars as it pulled out of sight.
[B]
I heard the whistle blowing, [E] just as sad [B] as anything,
[E] And it made [B] me think of Sisko and the [B] songs he used to sing.
_ Fare thee well, Sisko, fare thee well,
_ _ Here for just a while, gone a many a mile.
Fare thee well, Sisko, fare thee well.
_ _ He walked down every highway [E] in this great and [B] mighty land,
[E] He sang the [B] songs of what he [C#] saw, he sang for every man.
[B]
He had no truck with nonsense, [E] he sang [B] them straight and plain.
[E] He got [B] his greatest music from the whistle of a train.
_ Fare thee well, Sisko, fare thee well,
_ _ Here for just a while, gone a many a mile. _
[E] Fare thee well, Sisko, fare thee well.
_ Well, I dreamed that me and [E] Sisko, we were standing [B] in some town,
[E] The good clean [B] air was in our [C#] lungs and the sun was a [G#]-shining down.
[B] He said, this land has lots of [E] room, it stretches [B] far and wide,
[E] There's a lonesome [B] parade at six oh eight, let's grab that train and ride.
_ Fare thee well, Sisko, fare thee well, _
_ _ Here for just a while, gone a many a mile.
[E] Fare thee [B] well, Sisko, fare thee well.
_ Well, he rambled around with Woody, [E] just to see [B] what he could see,
[E] And when [B] the fascist tide was [C#] high, he rambled out to sea.
[B] And everywhere he rambled, he [E] made friends of [B] many men,
[E] And Sisko's [B] friends can tell us, we [F#] won't see his [B] kind again.
_ Fare thee well, Sisko, fare thee well, _ _
_ Here for just a while, gone a many a mile. _
[E] Fare [B] thee well, Sisko, fare thee well.
_ _ _ [E] Fare [B] thee well, Sisko, fare thee well. _ _ _
