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
