British folk Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Key: C 3 3 3 -3 3 -2* 3 2 There is a tav-ern in the town, 3 3 3 in the town, 3 3 3 -3 3 -2* 3 -1 And there my true love sits him down, 3 3 3 -2 sits him down, 2-1 1 2 3 4 -5 4 -4 4 -3 And drinks his wine as mer-ry as can be, 4 -4 -4 -4 3 -3 -4 4 And nev-er, nev-er thinks of me. Chorus: 3 3 -2 -4 -4 -4 -4 3 Fare thee well, for I must leave thee, -2 -1 1 4 4 4 4 3 Do not let this part-ing grieve thee, 2 2 -1 -4 -4 -4 -4 3 -3 And re-mem-ber that the best of friends -4 4 -3 3 must part, must part 3 3 3 -3 3 -2* A-dieu, a-dieu, kind friends 3 2 3 3 3 a-dieu, yes, a-dieu, 3 3 3 -3 3 -2* 3 -1 I can no long-er stay with you, 3 3 3-2 stay with you, 2 -1 1 2 3 I'll hang my heart 4 4 -5 4 -4 4 -3 on the weep-ing wil-low tree, 4 -4 -4 -4 3 -3 -4 4 And may the world go well with thee. He left me for a damsel dark, damsel dark, Each Friday night they used to spark, used to spark, And now my love once true to me, Takes that dark damsel on his knee. Chorus: Oh! dig my grave both wide and deep, wide and deep, Put tombstones at my head and feet, head and feet, And on my breast carve a turtle dove, To signify I died of love. Chorus: |
