FARE THEE WELL (Emily Saliers)
------------------------------
C[intG(4)/Fro] Em7 Am9 F6(#4) G C(9) G(4)/B
C Fare thee wFell, my brighEm7t starAm7
I watched your tF6aillights Gblaze into nothinC/Bgness
C But you were long gFone before I Em7ever got to yoAm9u
F6 Before you Gblazed past this adAm9dress Am7
And Dm7now I thinEmk of having loveF6d and havingG lost
You Dm7never knowEm what it's like F6to never loGve
Who Dm7can say whEmat's better whenF6 my heart's Gbecome the cost
A mere tAm7oken of a brDighter jewGel sent from up above
CFare thee welFl, my bright Em7star Am7
The vanity of yoF6uth, the cGolor of your eyesC/B
CMaybe if I'd fanned tFhe blazing fiEm7re of your dayAm9-to-day
F6Or if I'd beeGn older I'd been wiAm9se Am7
Too Dm7thick the Emheat of those loF6ng summer evGenings
For Dm7a cool eveEmning I began to F6yearn G
But Dm7you could Emonly feed upon tF6he things whGich feed a fire
Waiting Am7to see if I Dwould burnG
CFare thee welFl, my bright Em7star Am7
It was a brief bF6rilliant mGiracle dive C/B
CThat which I looked uFp to and I clEm7ung to for deaAm9r life
F6Had to burn iGtself up just to maAm9ke itsAm7elf alive
And Dm7I caught yEmou then, in yourF6 moment of gGlory
YourDm7 last dramEmatic scene againF6st a night sGky stage
WithDm7 a memory Emso clear it's asF6 if you're sGtill before me
Am7 D G
My once in a lifetime star of an age
CSo fare thee Fwell, my brigEm7ht staAm7r
Last night the tF6ongues of Gfire circled me aC/Bround
CAnd this strange seasFon of pain wiEm7ll come to pasAm9s
F6When the healGing hands of autumnAm9 cool Am7me down
