Farewell, Farewell
by Fairport Convention
Intro on [G]
Farewell, farewell to you who'd [D] hear
You [C] lonely [D] travelers [C] all
The [G] cold north [C] wind will [G] blow [G/F#] a- [Em] gain
The [C] winding road [D] does [C] call
And will you never return to see
Your bruised and beaten sons
Oh I would, I would if welcome I were
For they loathe me every one
And will you never cut the cloth
Or drink the light to be
And can you never swear a year
To anyone but we
No I will never cut the cloth
Or drink the light to be
But I'll swear a year to one who lies
Asleep along side of me
Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
You lonely travelers all
The cold north wind will blow again
The winding road does call
Farewell, farewell to you who'd [D] hear
You [C] lonely [D] travelers [C] all
The [G] cold north [C] wind will [G] blow [G/F#] a- [Em] gain
The [C] winding road [D] does [C] call
And will you never return to see
Your bruised and beaten sons
Oh I would, I would if welcome I were
For they loathe me every one
And will you never cut the cloth
Or drink the light to be
And can you never swear a year
To anyone but we
No I will never cut the cloth
Or drink the light to be
But I'll swear a year to one who lies
Asleep along side of me
Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
You lonely travelers all
The cold north wind will blow again
The winding road does call
