C Am Ae fond kiss, and then we sever;

F C Ae fareweel, and then for ever!

F C Am Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,

C Am Em G⁷ C Warring / sighs and / groans I'll / wage / thee!

C Am Who shall say that Fortune grieves him

F C While the star of hope she leaves him?

F C Am Me, nae cheerfu' twinkle lights me,

C Am Em G⁷ C Dark despair around benights me.

C Am I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy;

F C Naething could resist my Nancy;

F C Am But to see her was to love her,

C Am Em G⁷ C Love but her, and love for ever.

C Am Had we never loved sae kindly,

F C Had we never loved sae blindly,

F C Am Never met - or never parted,

C Am Em G⁷ C We had ne'er been broken-hearted.

C Am Fare thee weel, thou first and fairest!

F C Fare thee weel, thou best and dearest!

F C Am Thine be ilka joy and treasure,

C Am Em G⁷ C Peace, enjoyment, love, and pleasure!

C Am Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!

F C Ae fareweel, alas, for ever!

F C Am Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,

C Am Em G⁷ C Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee!
