TITLE: Brokedown Palace
Lyrics and Chords


Fare you well, my honey
Fare you well my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Are flown, except you alone

/ G - F - / Bb F - G / G - Dm - / Bb - C - /

Goin' to leave this brokedown palace
On my hands and my knees I will roll, roll, roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time, in my time I will roll, roll, roll

/ F - Bb - / F Dm Bb F / F Am Bb F / F G Bb F /

In a bed, in a bed
By the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul

/ F A / Bb FG / F G / Bb F /

River goin' to take me, sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home
It's a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago
Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home

Goin' home, goin' home
By the waterside I will lay my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul

Going to plant a weepin' willow
On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow
Sings a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll

Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul

Doo doo doo...
