Farewell Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Far[G]ewe[C]ll to the mountains,
[F]whose maizes to [C]me
Were more beauti[G]ful [Am]far
than [D]Eden could [G]be
No [C]fruit was forbidden but
[F]nature had [C]spread
Her bounti[G]ful [Am]board [F]and
her [C]chil[G]dren were [C]fed

[Verse 2]
The [Am]hills were our [E]garners
our [Am]herds wildly [G]grew
And [C]nature was shepherd
[F]and [C]husband, [G]man [C]too
I [Am]felt like a [E]monarch,
yet [Am]thought like [G]a man
As I [C]thanked the Great Giver [F]and
[C]worshiped [G]His [C]plan
[Am][F][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[C]
The home I forsake where
my [F]offspring [C]grows
The grave I [G]forsake [Am]where
my [D]children re[G]born
The [C]home I redeem from the
[F]savage an[C]d wild
The home I [G]have [Am]loved [F]as a [C]father,
[G]his [C]child

[Verse 4]
The [Am]corn that I [E]planted,
the [Am]fields that [G]I cleared
[C]The flocks that I've raised
[F]and the [C]cattle [G]I r[C]eared
The [Am]wife of my [E]bosom, [Am]farewell to ye [G]all
In the [C]land of the stranger,
[F]I r[C]ise or I[G] fall

[Verse 5]
[C]Farewell to my country,
I've [F]fought for thee [C]well
When the savage [Am]rushed forth
like [D]the demons from [G]hell
In [C]peace or in war, I have [F]stood by thy [C]side
My country [G]for [Am]thee,
[F]I have l[C]ived, w[G]ould have d[C]ied
[G]But

[Verse 6]
[Am]I'm a cast o[E]ff, my car[Am]eer now [G]is done
[C]I must wander abroad l[F]ike
the [C]Prodig[G]al [C]Son
Where the [Am]wild savage [E]droves and
the [Am]broad Prairies [G]spread
The [C]fallen despised,
[F]will [C]again [G]go ahead
