The Pogues - The Leaving of Liverpool: chords

C                         F         C
Fare thee well to you, my own true love,
                           G
there were many fare thee wells.
      C             F   C
I am bound for California,
                 G         C
a place that I know right well.

Chorus:
    G                F         C
So fare the well, my own true love,
                              G
when I return united we will be.
      C                                  F      C
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,
                        G        C
but my darling when I think of thee.

I am bound on a Yankee clipper ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And her Captain's name it is Burgess
And they say that she's a floating hell

Chorus

Oh I've sailed with Burgess once before
And I think I know him well
If a man's a sailor he will get along
If he's not then he's sure to tell

Chorus

Oh the ship in the harbour, love
And you know I can't remain
Oh, you know that it will be a long, long time
Before I see you again
