The Last Goodbye
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 |
