[Intro]
C F Am
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever
G C
Ae farewell, and then forever
F C Am
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
C Am G C
Warring sighs and goans I'll wage thee.
[Verse 1]
C F Am
Who shall say that Fortune grieves him,
G C
While the star of hope she leaves him
F C Am
Me nae cheerful twinkle lights me,
C Am G C
Dark despair around benights me.
[Verse 2]
C F Am
I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy:
G C
Nothing could resist my Nancy
F C Am
But to see her was to love her
C Am G C
Love but her, and love for ever.
[Verse 3]
C F Am
Had we never loe'd sae kindly,
G C
Had we never loe'd sae blindly,
F C Am
Never met - nor never parted -
C Am G C
We had ne'er been broken-hearted.
[Verse 4]
C F Am
Fare thee weel, thou first and fairest
G C
Fare thee weel, thou best and dearest
F C Am
Thine be ilka joy and treasure,
C Am G C
Peace, Enjoyment, Love and Pleasure
[Outro]
C F Am
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever
G C
Ae farewell, alas, for ever
F C Am
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
C Am G C
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
