My Last Farewell
| G | Am | C |
Dearest | Mother I am writing just to | say I won't be | home |
| D | C | D | G | D |
There's | something that I have to do and | I must | do a | lone | |
| G | Am | C |
They have | took me and they've put me in this | lonely prison | cell |
| D | C | D | G |
To | night my thoughts are with you as I | say my | last Fare | well |
Chorus
| D | G |
So | say goodbye to Margaret, Mary | Bridget and Michál |
| C | G | Em | D |
I | have no words to | tell you how much I'll | miss you | all |
| Am | D | G |
And | though I may not | show it you | know I've loved you well |
| C | G | Am | D | G |
So | in my final | letter I will | bid my | last fare | well |
| G | Am | C |
Dearest | brother won't you take good care of | all the folks for | me |
| D | C | D | G | D |
Go | home to Rathfarnam on the | day they | set you | free | |
| G | Am | C |
I was | happy when you stood by me in | all that we've been | through |
| D | C | D | G |
No | one has ever had so true a | brother | such as | you |
Chorus
| G | Am | C |
Dearest | mother it's so very sad that | now we have to | part |
| D | C | D | G | D |
To | understand the reasons would | trouble | your poor | heart | |
| G | Am | C |
I have | told you since I was a boy it | was my desti | ny |
| D | C | D | G |
To | die a true brave soldier so that | one day | you'd be | free |
Chorus
