Fare thee well Northumberland chords

Fare thee well Northumberland

• C

 Come drive me down to the central station 
I hate to leave my River Tyne 
For some damn town that's god-forsaken 
Fare thee well, Northumberland 
Although I'll go where the lady takes me 
She'll never tell what's in her hand 
I do not know what fate awaits me 
Fare thee well, Northumberland
 

                   C
My heart beats for my streets and alleys 
         F     G                  C
Longs to dwell in the borderlands 
C
The north-east shore and the river valleys 
F           G                     C
Fare thee well Northumberland 
          F                               C
I may not stay, I'm bound for leaving
C                             Bb
I'm bound to ramble and to roam
         C                 C
I only say my heart is grieving
       F          G                    C 
I would not gamble on my coming home

Roll on, geordie boy, roll

Roll on, geordie boy, roll

Roll on, geordie boy, roll

So drive me down to the central station 
F            G                   C
I hate to leave my River Tyne 
C
For some damn town that's god-forsaken
F         G                 C
Goodbye old friend of mine 
F                         C
Although I'll go where the lady takes me 
C                            G
She'll never tell what's in her hand 
      C
I do not know what fate awaits me 
  F           G                      C
