Chords

[Intro] G [Verse]
                     C       G     Em
The fire is out, the moon is down

                             D     G
The parting glass is dry and done

                  C          G     Em
And I must go and leave this town

                  D      G    Em
Before the rising of the sun
[Verse]
                    Bm
Long's the road and many's the mile

  C      G       D           G
Before I rest my soul again

                        C         G     Em
With girls who weep and girls who smile

                     D       G    C D
At all the words and ways of men
[Instrumental] G C Em G C Em D G Em Bm C G D G C G Em D G C D G [Verse]
                       C       G     Em
But some there are who may not hide

                                D    G
But wander 'til their journey's end

                  C    G     Em
Or take a girl to be a bride

                 D    G       Em
Or keep a man to be a friend
[Verse]
                   Bm
When I'm done with wandering

       C     G        D              G
I will sit beside the road and weep

                    C       G    Em
For all the songs I did not sing

               D       G    C D G
And promises I did not keep
[Instrumental] G C G Em D G C G Em D G Em [Verse]
                   Bm
When I'm done with wandering

       C     G        D              G
I will sit beside the road and weep

                    C         G    Em
For all the songs I could not sing

               D       G    C D G
And promises I did not keep
