This song was originally written by Robert Burns, and these chords best represent the cover by The Duke of Norfolk. C F Am Ae fond kiss, and then we sever; F Am G C Ae fareweel, alas, for ever! F C Am Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee, C Am G F C Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee. C F Am Who shall say that Fortune grieves him, F Am G C While the star of hope she leaves him? F C Am Me, nae cheerful twinkle lights me; C Am G F C Dark despair around benights me. C F Am I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy, F Am G C Nothing could resist my Nancy: F C Am But to see her was to love her; C Am G F C Love but her, and love for ever. C F Am Had we never lov'd so kindly, F Am G C Had we never lov'd so blindly, F C Am Never met-or never parted, C Am G F C We had ne'er been broken-hearted. C F Am Fare-thee-weel, my first and fairest! F Am G C Fare-thee-weel, my best and dearest! F C Am Thine be ilka joy and treasure, C Am G F C Peace, Enjoyment, Love and Pleasure! C F Am Ae fond kiss, and then we sever! F Am G C Ae fareweell alas, for ever! F C Am Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee, C Am G F C Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
