Simple Tin Whistle Tabs

Verse

There is a tavern in the town

In the town

And there my true love sits him down

Sits him down

And drinks his wine mid laughter gay and free

But never, never thinks of me

Chorus:

Fare thee well for I must leave thee

Do not let the parting grieve thee

And remember that the best of friends must part

Must part

A - dieu

A - dieu kinds friends a - dieu

Yes, a - dieu

I can no longer stay with you

Stay with you

And I will hang my harp

On a weeping willow tree

And may the world go well with thee

Verse

He left me for a damsel dark, damsel dark,
Each Friday night they used to spark,
Used to spark,
And now my love who once was true to me
Takes this dark damsel on his knee.

Chorus

Fare thee well, for I must leave thee
Do not let this parting grieve thee And remember that the best of friends must part, must part

Adieu, adieu kind friends, adieu
I can no longer stay with you
I'll hang my harp on a weeping willow tree
And may the world go well with thee

Verse

And now I see him nevermore, nevermore;
He never knocks upon my door, on my door;
Oh, woe is me; he pinned a little note,
And these were all the words he wrote:

Chorus

Fare thee well, for I must leave thee
Do not let this parting grieve thee
And remember that the best of friends must part, must part

Adieu, adieu kind friends, adieu
I can no longer stay with you
I'll hang my harp on a weeping willow tree
And may the world go well with thee

Verse

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 you may carve a turtle dove,
To signify I died of love.

Chorus

Fare thee well, for I must leave thee
Do not let this parting grieve thee
And remember that the best of friends must part, must part

Adieu, adieu kind friends, adieu
I can no longer stay with you
I'll hang my harp on a weeping willow tree
And may the world go well with thee.
