Intro
D   G   D   G   D
Verse 1
                           G       D
Oh, it's fare thee well my darlin' true
                   G                 A
I'm leavin' in the first hour of the morn
    D                        G   D
I'm bound off for the Bay of Mexico
             A            D
Or maybe the coast of Californ
Chorus
        A   G     D
So it's fare thee well my one true love
            G      D            A
We'll meet another day, another time
             D
It ain't the leavin'
         G        D
That's a-grievin' me
                       A               D
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
Verse 2
                                      G          D
Oh, the weather is against me and the wind blows hard
                     G            A
And the rain she's a-turnin' into hail
  D                                G             D
I still might strike it lucky on a highway goin' west
           A                          D
Though I'm travelin' on a path beaten trail
Chorus
        A   G     D
So it's fare thee well my one true love
            G      D            A
We'll meet another day, another time
             D
It ain't the leavin'
         G        D
That's a-grievin' me
                       A               D
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
Verse 3
                               G       D
I will write you a letter from time to time
                        G              A
As I'm ramblin' you can travel with me too
        D                     G         D
With my head, my heart and my hands, my love
                   A                  D
I will send what I learn back home to you
Chorus
        A   G     D
So it's fare thee well my one true love
            G      D            A
We'll meet another day, another time
             D
It ain't the leavin'
         G        D
That's a-grievin' me
                       A               D
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
Verse 4
                       G               D
I will tell you of the laughter and of troubles
            G                 A
Be them somebody else's or my own
        D                          G           D
With my hands in my pockets and my coat collar high
                A             D
I will travel unnoticed and unknown
Chorus
        A   G     D
So it's fare thee well my one true love
            G      D            A
We'll meet another day, another time
             D
It ain't the leavin'
         G        D
That's a-grievin' me
                       A               D
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
Verse 5
                                  G                D
I've heard tell of a town where I might as well be bound
                         G       A
It's down around the old Mexican plains
     D                           G        D
They say that the people are all friendly there
             A                  D
And all they ask of you is your name
Chorus
        A   G     D
So it's fare thee well my one true love
            G      D            A
We'll meet another day, another time
             D
It ain't the leavin'
         G        D
That's a-grievin' me
                       A               D
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
