[Verse]
                       C       D                   G
Fare thee well cold winter and fare thee well cold frost
               Em             C                  D
Nothing have I gained, but my own true love I've lost
     G                 Em         C            D
I'll drink and I'll be merry till fortune I do see
    G              G/B  C      D                    G
And I'll rest when I am weary, let her go, farewell she

[Verse]
                         C        D              G
Last night I saw my true love all down in yonder grove
                 Em       C                D
She gave to me a smile, a blessing from my love
        G                     Em        C               D
And she thought I should have spoken to her as I passed by
      G         G/B    C     D                          G
But before I'll humble to my love, I'll lay me down and die

[Verse]
                          C          D                G
Take a half a pound of reason, and a quarter pound of sense
                       Em          C            D
And one small sprig of thyme and a little of prudence
    G              Em         C                D
And put them all together and you will plainly see
        G       G/B    C              D            G
She's a false deluding lover, let her go, farewell she

[Verse]
                           C       D                   G
So, fare thee well cold winter and fare thee well cold frost
               Em             C                  D
Nothing have I gained, but my own true love I've lost
     G                 Em         C            D
I'll drink and I'll be merry till fortune I do see
    G              G/B  C      D                    G
And I'll rest when I am weary, let her go, farewell she
