G I saw the light fade from the sky
G On the wind I heard a sigh
EmCEmC As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers
GCG I will say this last goodbye
EmC Night is now falling
GD So ends this day
EmC The road is now calling
GD And I must away
EmC Over hill and under tree
AmC Through lands where never light has shone
GCD By silver streams that run down to the sea
EmC Under cloud, beneath the stars
AmC Over snow one winter’s morn
GCD I turn at last to paths that lead home
AmCEm And though where the road then takes me
D I cannot tell
AmC We came all this way
EmD But now comes the day to bid you farewell
GCG Many places I have been
GCG Many sorrows I have seen
EmCEm, C But I don’t regret, nor will I forget
GCG All who took that road with me
EmC Night is now falling
GD So ends this day
EmC The road is now calling
GD And I must away
EmC Over hill and under tree
AmC Through lands where never light has shone
GCD By silver streams that run down to the sea
EmC To these memories I will hold
AmC With your blessing I will go
GCD To turn at last to paths that lead home
AmCEm And though where the road then takes me
D I cannot tell
AmC We came all this way.
EmD But now comes the day to bid you farewell
CEmCEmCEm CG I bid you all a very fond farewell
