D            A                              G 
Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration, 
       Gm                                   D 
I am unconscious of intentional error, i am nevertheless  
            A                              G 
Too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that 
           Gm 
I may have committed many errors.  
D                  A                        G 
I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will

View them with indulgence; and that 
D                A                G                                Gm 
After forty-five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal 
    D 
The faults of incompetent abilities will be 
             A 
Consigned to oblivion, as i myself must soon be to the mansions of rest

To realize the sweet enjoyment of partaking, in the midst of my fellow-citizens,  
    D                                     C 
The benign influence of good laws under a free government, the ever-favorite object  
      G             D             C 
Of my heart, and the happy reward, as i trust 
       G            Bb                   C 
Of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers. 
         D
