The Leaving SongCifra

Intro: E  A 

E 
With kings and fools 
A             E 
And knaves in tow 
E 
The leaving song 
A           B7 
Has far to go 

E 
They shake your head 
A               E 
And rattle your bones 
E 
With shallow truths 
A             B7 
And hollow hopes 

E

E 
If this winter is hard 
A            E 
Where will you go 
E 
The snow may fall 
A                B7 
And the wind may blow 

E 
On a pair of good boots 
A              E 
And a brand new coat 
E 
The eyes may feast 
A                  B7 
But the purse can't own 

E

           B7

E 
You could sail to France 
A           E 
On a leaky boat 
E 
Go down to Spain 
A              B7 
And warm your toes 

E 
Take a long time 
A             E 
If you go by road 
E 
But time is tall 
A                  B7 
When you're on your own

E 
So wipe your tears 
A               E 
And blow your nose 
E 
Curse this life 
A            B7 
You never chose 

E 
Curse this rain 
A                     E 
Curse this friend and foe 
E 
Come on boots 
A          B7 
Steady we go
