^G (Farewell, fare-^Dmwell my love), ^Bb (Farewell, fare-^Dwell my love).

Chorus 1:

^G Farewell is a ^Emlonely sound, when ^Am7told to someone you ^Dlove. You know you ^Ghurt inside, as you ^Emwonder why, You must ^Cleave the ^Done you ^Glove.

Verse 1:

^G Saying goodbye to ^Bmsomeone you ^Emlove, is so ^Am7hard for any ^Dman. You say its ^Gjust for a while, and you ^Bmforce a ^Emsmile, And you ^Am7hope she'll under-^D7stand.

Then a ^Gtear appears ^Bmin her ^Emeyes, as she ^Am7tightly holds your ^Dhand. Then you ^Glet her know, that it's ^Bmtime to ^Emgo, You must ^Am7leave while you ^D7can. Oh but;

Chorus 2:

^G Farewell is a ^Emlonely sound, when ^Am7told to someone you ^Dlove. You know you ^Ghurt inside, as you ^Emwonder why, You must ^Cleave the ^Done you ^Glove.

Interlude:

^G (Farewell, fare-^Dmwell my love), ^A# (Farewell, fare-^Dwell my love).^D#

*KEY CHANGE* ------------ Verse 2:

^G# With every silent ^Cmstep you ^Fmtake, ^A#m7each one hurts your ^D#7heart. As you ^G#board the train, you ^Cmfeel the ^Fmpain, That ^A#m7starts as you de-^D#7part.

You ^G#wipe your eyes so ^Cmshe cant ^Fmsee, 'cos a ^A#m7man should never ^D#7cry. Now there's ^G#just the trace, of her ^Cmcrying ^Fmface, As you ^A#m7wave to her good-^D#7bye. That's why...

Chorus 3:

^G# Farewell is a ^Fmlonely sound, when ^A#m7told to someone you ^D#7love. You know you ^G#hurt inside, as you ^Fmwonder why, You must ^C#leave the ^D#one you ^G#love.

Chorus 4:

^G# Farewell is a ^Fmlonely sound, when ^A#m7told to someone you ^D#7love. You know you ^G#hurt inside, as you ^Fmwonder why, You must ^C#leave the ^D#one you ^G#love.
