4 4 -4 5 -4 -4 4 5
I saw the light fade from the sky
4 -4 5 6 5 -4 4 4
On the wind I hea-rd a sigh
4 -4 5 6 5 -4
As the snow-flakes co-ver
4 -4 5 6 -6 6
my-y fa-llen bro-thers
7 7 7 7 8 -8 7 7
I will say this la-st good-bye

-6 -6 6 -6 7
Night is now fall-ing
7 7 5 6
So ends this day
-6 -6 -6 6 -6 7
The road is now call-ing
-8 8 7 8 -9 8 -8
And I must a-way

4 -4 5 -4 5 6 -6
Ov-er hill and und-er tree
-6 -6 7 -8 8 -8 7 -6
through lands were ne-ver light has shone
7 7 -7 7 5 -6 -6 5 -4 -4
By sil-ver streams that run down to the sea
4 -4 5 -4 5 6 -6
Un-der cloud be-neath the stars
-6 7 -8 8 -8 7 -6
Ov-er snow and win-ters morn
7 7 -7 7 7 -8 -8 7 -8
I turn at last to paths that lead home

7 7 7 7 8 -8 -8 -8 7 -6
And though where the ro-ad then takes me
8 -9 8 8 -8
I can-not te-ll
-6 -6 7 -6 8 -6 -6 7 -6 8
We came all this way but now comes the day
8 8 -9 8 8 -8
to bid you fare-well

4 -4 5 4 5 -4 4 4
Ma-ny pla-ces I have been
4 -4 5 6 -6 6 6
Ma-ny sor-rows I have seen
4 -4 5 4 4
But I don't re-gret
4 -4 5 6 -6 -6 7 7 -8 8 -8 7 7
Nor will I for-get all who took the ro-ad with me

-6 -6 6 -6 7
Night is now fall-ing
7 7 5 6
so ends this day
-6 -6 -6 6 -6 7 -8 8-8 7 8 -9 8-8
The road is now call-ing and I-i-i must a-way

4 -4 5 -4 5 6 -6
Ov-er hill and und-er tree
-6 -6 7 -8 8 -8 7 -6
through lands where ne-ver light has shone
7 7 -7 7 7 7 -8 7 7 -8
By sil-ver streams that run down to the sea

7 -8 8 -8 8 9 -10
To these mem-'ries I will hold
-6 7 -8 8 -8 7 -6
with your bless-ing I will go
7 7 -7 7 7 -8 -8 7 -8
to turn at last to paths that lead home

7 7 7 7 8 -8 -8 -8 7 -6
And though where the ro-ad then takes me
8 -9 8 8 -8
I can-not tell
-6 -6 7 -6 8 -6 -6 7 -6 8
We came all this way but now comes the day
8 8 -9 8 8 -8
to bid you fare-well

-6 -6 7 -6 8 -6 -6 7 8 -6 7
I bid you all a ver-y fond fare-well
