Liam Clancy - Farewell To Tarwathie
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] C F C F C Em Am C F C
[VERSE 1:]
F C
Farewell to Tarwathie, adieu Mormond Hill
F C
And the dear land of Crimond, I bid ye farewell
Em Am C
I am bound out for Greenland and ready to sail
F C
In hopes to find riches a-hunting the whale
[VERSE 2:]
F C
Oh, adieu to my comrades, for a while we must part
F C
And likewise the dear lass that first won my heart
Em Am C
Oh, the cold ice of Greenland my love will not chill
F C F C
And the longer my absence, more loving she'll feel
[VERSE 3:]
F C
Our ship is well rigged and she's ready to sail
F C
Our crew they are anxious to follow the whale
Em Am C
Where the icebergs do float and the stormy winds blow
F C
Where the land and the ocean are covered with snow
[VERSE 4:]
F C
The cold coasts of Greenland are barren and bare
F C
No seed-time nor harvest is ever known there
Em Am C
Though the birds here sing sweetly on mountain and dale
F C
There is no bird in Greenland to sing to the whale
[INSTRUMENTAL:] C F C F C Em Am C F C
[VERSE 5:]
F C
There is no habitation for a man to live there
F C
And the king of that country is the fierce Greenland bear
Em Am C
There will be no temptation to tarry long there
F C
With our ship bumper full, we will homeward repair
[OUTRO:] (## repeat and fade to end ##)
