Far Away In Australia

C                            F        C
Sweetheart I'm bidding you a fond farewell
             F         G
Murmured the youth one day
    F         G           F          C
I'm bound for new land my fortune to try
                 G     C
And I'm ready to sail away


Chorus
    A  Am        Em    G   C         Em       F
Far a--way in Aus-trali-a, soon will faith be kind
    C         Em       F           C
And I will be ready to welcome the lass
           G       C
The girl I left be-hind

Must we be parted this fair maid cried
         F       G
I cannot let you go
 F           G             F         C
Still I must leave you,the young man replied
               G         C
But for only a while you know

Wheather it's success or failure
          F       G
I will al-ways be true
F          G        F          C
Daily each day in a land far a-way
                   G        C
I'll be building a home for you

Daily she waits at the old cottage gates
             F         G
Watching the whole day through
F            G             F        C
Till a sweet message comes over the waves
               G         C
In a new world I'll join two


Chorus
    A  Am        Em    G   C         Em       F
Far a--way in Aus-trali-a, soon will faith be kind
    C         Em       F           C
And I will be ready to welcome the lass
           G       C
The girl I left be-hind
