The Tavern Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]The[G]re[C][G][C]
is
a tavern in the town,
That's where my true love sits her [G]down,
And [C]drinks her [F]wine 'mid laughter free,
[G]And never, never thinks of me.[C]

[Verse 2]
[C]Chorus:
Adieu, adieu, kind friends adieu,
We can no longer stay with [G]you,
We must [C]hang our harps on
a [F]weeping willow tree,
[G]And may the world go well
with [C]thee.[G][C]

[Verse 3]
Fare thee [G]well, for we must leave you,
[C]Do not let our parting grieve you,
For re[G]member that the best of [C]friends
Must part, [F]part, [C]part
So un[G]til amother meeting
When we'll [C]wave a friendly greeting
We [G]will keep your memory in our
[C]hearts.[G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[G][C]
Oh, dig my grave both wide and deep
With tombstones at my head [G]and feet
And [C]above my head you
can [F]carve a turtle dove
[G]To signify I died of lov[C]e.

[Verse 5]
[C]Chorus:
Adieu, adieu, kind friends adieu,
We can no longer stay with [G]you,
We must [C]hang our harps on
a [F]weeping willow tree,
[G]And may the world go well
with [C]thee.[G][C]

[Verse 6]
Fare thee [G]well, for we must leave you,
[C]Do not let our parting grieve you,
For re[G]member that the best of friends
Must [C]part, [F]part, [C]part
So un[G]til amother meeting
When we'll [C]wave a friendly greeting
We will [G]keep your memory in our [C]hearts.
