The Leaving Of Liverpool Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Farewell, my own true lov[F]er,
[C]I am going far away.
I am bound for
Califor[F]nia,
[C]but I know that I'll return some day.
So [G]fare thee well, my [F]own true [C]love,
And when I return, united we will [G]be.
It's not the [C]leaving of
Liverpool that [F]grieves me,
[C]But my darling, when I thi[G]nk of the[C]e.
I'm bound on a
Yankee [F]sailing [C]ship,
Davy
Crockett [F]is [C]her[G] name
Dan
[C]Burgess is the cap[F]tain of [C]her,
and they say that she's [G]a floating [C]hell
So [G]fare thee well, my [F]own true [C]love,
And when I return, united we [G]will be.
It's not the [C]leaving of
Liverpool that [F]grieves [C]me,
But my darling, when I [G]think of [C]thee.
I've sailed with
Burgess [F]once before,
[C]And I think I kno[F]w him[C] wel[G]l.
If a [C]man's a sailor, [F]he'll get [C]along,
But if not, then he's [G]sure in [C]hell.
So [G]fare thee well, my [F]own true [C]love,
And when I return, united we will [G]be.
It's not the [C]leaving of
Liverpool that [F]grieves [C]me,
But my darling,
when I [G]think of [C]thee.[F][C][F][C][G][C][F][C]
[G][C]
The sun is on the har[F]bour, [C]love,
And I wish I [F]could [C]remai[G]n,
For I [C]know it will be a [F]long, long time
[C]Before I see you[G] aga[C]in
So [G]fare thee well, my [F]own true love
[C]And when I return, united we will be[G]
It's not the [C]livin' of
Liverpool that [F]grieves [C]me,
But, my darlin', when I [G]think of [C]thee.
So [G]fare thee well, my [F]own true [C]love,
And when I return, united we will [G]be.
It's not the [C]livin' of
Liverpool that [F]grieves me,
[C]But my darlin' when I thi[G]nk of the[C]e.
