Farewell, Sweetheart, Farewell Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I'll tell you a sto[A]ry if you'll lis[D]ten a whi[G]le
To [D]some will bring heartaches
while others may [A]smile
To [D]some will bring [A]memories
of [D]fond days gone [G]by
While [D]others may let it pass [A]by with a [D]sigh
I [G]know that most everyone's fallen in [D]love,
but her as sweet as the angels [A]above.
If [D]by chance you pot[A]ted your
[D]heartache with [G]pain,
you'd [D]give this whole world
for her [A]love once [D]again.
One day in mid [A]-summer a [D]girl I did [G]meet
With a smile [D]like my mother's
and a face oh so [A]sweet
It [D]seemed this whole [A]world
was just [D]one happy [G]dream
We [D]strolled in the evening
[A]amid the [D]moonbeam
With [G]autumn leaves falling,
we fashioned a [D]dream,
Planned a gay wedding
as lovers will [A]scheme.
Then [D]one night she [A]told me
with [D]tears in her [G]eyes,
No [D]more could we wanderneath
[A]pale moonlit [D]skies.
Her parents had [A]told her
she'd nev[D]er find [G]joy
If she [D]married a reckless
and a ramblin' [A]cowboy
With his [D]home in the [A]saddle,
his [D]pony, his [G]pal
He'd for[D]get to return to
his [A]little [D]cowgal
With a [G]heart full of sadness
I bid her farewell
[D]And the sorrows it caused me
no song could ever [A]tell
To [D]some life brings [A]heartaches
while [D]others find [G]joy
While [D]I'm just a lonely and a
[A]ramblin' [D]cowboy
Thank you.
