E5
E5                    C5        G5
Farewell to sweet and seasick suffering
    E5                 D5
Goodbye all hollow and brave new worlds

           E5           C5        G5
Say Oh well to green and yellow melancholy

       E5               D5           E5
And Oh my to sweet and strange new words

God damn, what damage done!

     C5      G5              E5
What wicked wanting have I felt

                         D5
My nights have stretched constant without flame

  E5                                 C5 
I have been quick to draw and shoot and

       G5                   E5
Shoot again but never have I made my mark

        D5                              G5
Until my sweetheart came and said:

                   A5       C5        
Farewell, sweet and seasick suffering

    E5                 D5 
Goodbye all hollow and brave new worlds

   G5              A5      C5
Oh well, green and yellow melancholy 
    E5                D5            E5         
And Oh my to sweet and strange new words

     E5      A5           C5
Say, fair boy, are you so sure?

E5                   A5       D5
Have you no questions for the world?

         E5    A5   C5
Are your nights so cloudless?

         E5    A5 D5
Are your skies so clear?

    A5    G5 A5 G5           D5
Say, fair boy, have you no fear?

    A5 G5 A5 G5   D5        E5
No fear,    no fear
E5                         C5
Be still my quake and shudder

            G5 
My hopeless hapless hero

    E5                   D5
Why talk of hunger and of luckless love

   E5     
Be quick now before the light of day

  C5         G5       E5                   D5         
Has left us lonely, consider this, consider saying: why not say,

G5           A5             C5      
Farewell sweet and seasick suffering

    E5                 D5 
Goodbye all hollow and brave new worlds

   G5              A5      C5
Say Oh well to green and yellow melancholy

    E5                D5             
And Oh my to sweet and strange new?. one more time;
G5           A5             C5      
Farewell sweet and seasick suffering

        E5             D5 
Goodbye all hollow and brave new worlds

   G5              A5      C5
Say Oh well to green and yellow melancholy

    E5                D5            E5  
And Oh my to sweet and strange new words
    E5                D5            G5
And Oh my to sweet and strange new words
