Farewell, Farewell-Fairport Convention 
Off of Liege and Lief
Saddest song ever written? This in the key of G

Intro: G

G                                   D     
Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
     G       D         C
You lonely travellers all
     G          D          C    Am 
The cold north wind will blow again
              C        D         C
The winding road does call

              G       D       C
And will you never return to see
       G           D      C
Your bruised and beaten sons?
        G        D         C         Am
"Oh, I would, I would, if welcome I were
          C              D       C
For they love me, every one"

              G     D        C
And will you never cut the cloth
     G        D        C 
Or drink the light to be?
     G       D      C       Am
And can you never swear a year
    C         D          C
To anyone of we?

             G     D        C
"No, I will never cut the cloth
    G         D       C
Or drink the light to be
          G       D      C        Am
But I'll swear a year to one who lies
   C                  D         C
Asleep along side of me"


G                                   D     
Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
     G       D         C
You lonely travellers all
     G          D          C    Am 
The cold north wind will blow again
              C        D         C
The winding road does call
