Chorus 1:

G              Em                 Am7                 D
 Farewell is a lonely sound, when told to someone you love.
             G                   Em
You know you hurt inside, as you wonder why,
         C         D       G
You must leave the one you love.

Verse 1:

G                  Bm          Em          Am7          D
 Saying goodbye to someone you love, is so hard for any man.
            G                         Bm      Em
You say its just for a while, and you force a smile,
        Am7               D7
And you hope she'll under-stand.

       G            Bm     Em           Am7                D
Then a tear appears in her eyes, as she tightly holds your hand.
         G                       Bm      Em
Then you let her know, that it's time to go,
         Am7             D7
You must leave while you can. Oh but;

Chorus 2:

G              Em                 Am7                 D
 Farewell is a lonely sound, when told to someone you love.
             G                   Em
You know you hurt inside, as you wonder why,
         C         D       G
You must leave the one you love.

G                Dm
 (Farewell, fare-well my love),
Bb               D             Eb

Verse 2:

Ab                 Cm       Fm    Bbm7                Eb7
 With every silent step you take, each one hurts your heart.
       Ab                   Cm       Fm
As you board the train, you feel the pain,
     Bbm7             Eb7
That starts as you de-part.

    Ab                Cm       Fm          Bbm7             Eb7
You wipe your eyes so she cant see, 'cos a man should never cry.
            Ab                     Cm     Fm
Now there's just the trace, of her crying face,
       Bbm7             Eb7
As you wave to her good-bye. That's why...

Chorus 3:

Ab             Fm                 Bbm7                Eb7
 Farewell is a lonely sound, when told to someone you love.
             Ab                  Fm
You know you hurt inside, as you wonder why,
         C#        Eb      Ab
You must leave the one you love.

Chorus 4:

Ab             Fm                 Bbm7                Eb7
 Farewell is a lonely sound, when told to someone you love.
             Ab                  Fm
You know you hurt inside, as you wonder why,
         C#        Eb      Ab
You must leave the one you love.
