Leaving Of Liverpool Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

GFarewell The prinCce's LandGing stage

River Mersey fair the wD7ell

I am bound forG Cal - i - for - ni - a,C G

A place I kD7now right wGell

Chorus

So faDre you well my oCwn true lGove,

And when I return, united we will Dbe.

It's not the leaving ofG Liverpool that grieves mCe G

But my darling, it's when I think of tD7hee G

I'm off to California

By way of the stormy Cape Horn,

And I will send you a letter, love,

When I am homeward bound

I've shipped on a Yankee clipper ship,

Davy Crockett is her name,

And Burgess is the captain of her

And they say she is a floating hell

I'm bound away to leave you,

Goodbye, my love, goodbye

There ain't but one thing that grieves me,

That's leaving you behind

Oh the sun is on the harbor, love,

And I wish I could remain,

For I know it will be some long time

Before I see you again
