	        G				C		G	 
?Sweetheart I?m bidding you fond farewell, 
			D 
I will be yours some day. 
Em		D		C		G 
I?m bound for a new land, my fortune to try 
		D		G 
And I?m ready to sail away?. 
G D ?Far away in Australia, Em D C Soon will fate be kind Em D C G And I will be ready to welcome at last D G The girl I left behind?.
?Oh, you can?t leave me?, this poor maiden said, ?I will not let you go?. ?But I most leave you?, he gently replied, ?if for only a while, you know?. (Chorus) ?Now whether in success or in failure, I will always be true, And proudly each day, in that land far away, I?ll be building a home to you?. (Chorus) Daily she waits at the old cottage gate, Watching the whole day through, Then one day a message from over the sea, And I?m hoping these words are true. (Chorus, with variation:) ?Far away in Australia, Now has come the time When I am ready to welcome at last The girl I left behind?. J. Chaves Rosa [email protected]
