I saw the light fade from the sky C
On the wind I heard a sigh C
As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers a F a F
I will say this last goodbye C F C
Night is now falling a F
So ends this day C G
The road is now calling a F
And I must away C G
Over hill and under tree a F
Through lands where never light has shone d F
By silver streams that run down to the sea C F G
Under cloud, beneath the stars a F
Over snow one winter’s morn d F
I turn at last to paths that lead home C F G (d)
And though where the road then takes me F a
I cannot tell G (d)
We came all this way d F
But now comes the day F a
To bid you farewell a G
Many places I have been C F C
Many sorrows I have seen C F C
But I don’t regret a F
Nor will I forget a F
All who took the road with me C F C
Night is now falling a F
So ends this day C G
The road is now calling a F
And I must away C G
Over hill and under tree a F
Through lands where never light has shone d F
By silver streams that run down to the sea C F G
To these memories I will hold a F
With your blessing I will go d F
To turn at last to paths that lead home C F G
And though where the road then takes me d F a
I cannot tell G
We came all this way d F
But now comes the day F a
To bid you farewell a G
F a F a F a
I bid you all a very fond farewell. F a C
