Intro: 
C Bm  Am G  C G  D D/C 

 
     G                D   C  G   G/F# 
The fire is out, the moon is down. 
      Em             Bm      D 
The parting glass is dry and done. 
    G             D     C    G   G/F# 
And I must go and leave this town 
   Em             D       G  G/F# 
Before the rising of the sun. 
     Em                  Bm 
And long's the road and far's the mile 
   C      G       D    D/C 
Before I rest my soul again, 
      G                   D    C    G     G/F# 
With girls that weep and girls that smile 
     Em               D       G 
And all the words and ways of men. 
 

Interlude: C Bm  Am G  C G  D D/C 

 
     G                   D   C   G   G/F# 
For some there are, that may not bide 
     Em           Bm        D 
But wander to the journey's end, 
     G             D  C G     G/F# 
Nor take a girl to be a bride 
     Em           D     G     G/F# 
Nor keep a man to be a friend. 
     Em                 Bm 
And when I'm done with wandering 
      C     G        D       D/C 
I'll sit beside the road and weep 
     G              D   C   G    G/F# 
For all the songs I did not sing 
     Em        D       G    G/F# 
And promises I did not keep. 
 

Outro: 
Em  Bm  C G  D D/C 
G  D C G G/F#  Em  D  G  G
