Introduction:

 G 
        I saw the light fade from the sky
            G 
On the wind I heard a sigh
            Em            C         Em     C 
As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers
          G       C            G 
I will say this last goodbye

 Em                       C 
        Night is now falling
 G                         D 
        So ends this day
 Em                       C 
        The road is now calling
 G                         D 
        And I must away
 Em                      C 
Over hill and under tree
                      Am               C 
Through lands where never light has shone
                 G              C              D4    D 
By silver streams that run down to the sea

 Em                      C 
Under cloud, beneath the stars
             Am                   C 
Over snow one winter&rsquo s morn
               G          C              D9    D 
I turn at last to paths that lead home
 Am                             C               Em 
        And though where the road then takes me
              D 
I cannot tell
 Am                        C 
     We came all this way
                    Em                 D9    D 
But now comes the day to bid you farewell
            G        C      G 
Many places I have been
            G        C      G 
Many sorrows I have seen
        Em        C           Em        C 
But I don&rsquo t regret, nor will I forget
             G       C            G 
All who took that road with me

 Em                       C 
        Night is now falling
 G                         D 
        So ends this day
 Em                       C 
        The road is now calling
 G                         D 
        And I must away
 Em                      C 
Over hill and under tree
                     Am                   C 
Through lands where never light has shone
                 G              C                    D9    D 
By silver streams that run down to the sea

                 Em                 C 
To these memories I will hold
            Am                   C 
With your blessing I will go
            G         C               D9    D 
To turn at last to paths that lead home
 Am                     C              Em 
And though where the road then takes me
              D 
I cannot tell
 Am                        C 
We came all this way
                    Em                 D9    D 
But now comes the day to bid you farewell

            C                     G 
I bid you all a very fond farewell
