Farewell To Fiddlers Rim

	  		Intro: C   


They call the house the rising sun 

But the rooms were dark and dingy 

She packed her bag when the year was done 

She won't be back again 
             F     
She's a-goin home 
            C 
Back to Carolina 
        G               C 
Leaving Fiddler's Rim behind her 



She gave her heart by the harvest moon  

To a fair-haired half-Comanche 

But she plum give up on the someday-soons  

Of a no-good gambling man 
             F     
She's a-goin home (she's a-goin home) 
            C 
Back to Carolina (back to Carolina) 
        G                               C 
Leaving Fiddler's Rim and Diamond Jim behind her 


Instrumental: C        F     C   G   C 



The sun sets down behind the hills 

The trees are dreich and drowsy 

She wonders if he wants her still 

But it don't matter now 
             F     
She's a-goin home (she's a-goin home) 
            C 
Back to Carolina (back to Carolina) 
        G                   
Leaving Fiddler's Rim and Diamond Jim  
                       C 
And her love for him behind her 
        G                   
Leaving Fiddler's Rim and Diamond Jim  
                       C 
And her love for him behind her
