[Verse 1]
E
In this fair land you'll stay no more
B E
Here labor is in vain
B A
You'll leave the mountains of our birth
E
And seek the fertile plain
B E
You're going to the west
[Chorus]
E
You say you will not go with me
B E
You turn your eyes away
B A
You say you will not follow me
E
No matter what I say
B E
I'm going to the west
[Verse 2]
E
Years have passed since we first met
B E
When you became my bride
B A
Now I must journey far away
E
Without you by my side
B E
I'm going to the west
[Chorus]
E
You say you will not go with me
B E
You turn your eyes away
B A
You say you will not follow me
E
No matter what I say
B E
I'm going to the west
[Verse 3]
E
You'll leave me here in this land I love
B E
Midst scenes so bright and fair
B A
Where fragrant flowers bloom
E
And music fills the air
B E
You're going to the west
[Chorus]
E
You say you will not go with me
B E
You turn your eyes away
B A
You say you will not follow me
E
No matter what I say
B E
I'm going to the west
B E
I'm going to the west
