[Intro 1]
[D][C][D]

[Verse 1]
Now [D]my dear friends,
[G]you've been so kind to [D]a man
whose lamp seemed to go off at [C]all.
[D]It's been so good here,
you [G]made the time to [D]rest,
still I must leave you, I have to be [C]gone.[D]
[C]I s[D]aw the light on a c[G]old Thursday mornin'
[D]It made me shiver,
though I don't know [C]why[D]
I'll miss the talks
and the [G]warmth of your fire
[D]I hope that we'll see it here
again by and [C]by[A]
I'm gone to the wild country,
[G]gone to the[D] sea[A]
Gone to the valley
where [G]peace waits for [Bb]me
Yes, I'm [D]gone, gone,
I'm [A]gone, gone
[G]Oh, yes, I'm [D]gone[C][D]
The last time I saw my home
[G]it was empty
[D]Of all of the things
that once made me [C]care
[D]Nobody knew me the [G]way
I remember them
But [D]you know the way
that some people can [C]stare[A]
Gone to the wild country,
[G]gone to the[D] sea
[A]Gone to the valley where
[G]Peace waits for [Bb]me
Yes, I'm [D]gone, [A]gone
[G]Oh, yes, I'm [D]gone[C][D]
It's not a brave way of
[G]saying goodbye now
[D]You all deserve much more than this [C]song
The [D]pa per will yellow and
[G]the edges curl up
The [D]meaning may linger,
though the matter is [C]gone[A]
Cause I'm gone to the wild [G]country,
gone to [D]the [A]sea
Gone to the valley
where [G]peace waits for [Bb]me
Yes, I'm [A]gone, [D]gone[A]
[G]Oh, yes, I'm [D]gone[C][D]
[C][D]
You
