G                          D
These fleeting charms of earth
     G          D         C        G
Farewell, your springs of joy are dry
 G         G     D     G
My soul now seeks another home
   D        C       G
A brighter world on high

[Chorus]
G                           D       G
I'm a long time travelling here below
      D                    G          D
I'm a long time travelling away from home
G                          D      G
I'm a long time travelling here below
D            C   G
To lay this body down

[Verse]
 G                 G       D        G
Fare-well kind friends whose tender care
       D    C       G
Has long engaged my love
  G        G      D     G
Your fond embrace I now exchange
       D    C       G
For better friends above

[Chorus]
G                          D     G
I'm a long time travelling here below
           D               G          D
I'm a long time travelling away from home
G                          D     G
I'm a long time travelling here below
D           C     G
To lay this body down

[Chorus]
G                          D     G
I'm a long time travelling here below
           D               G          D
I'm a long time travelling away from home
G                          D     G
I'm a long time travelling here below
D           C     G
To lay this body down

[Outro]
D           C     G
To lay this body down
