A Fond Farewell Uke tab by Ari Hest

E 
My mother once told me
G#sus     G# 
The thicker your skin,
C#7sus C#7
The better off you'll be
dm
When this world brings you down
F#m/B    /B#
It's trying to control me
C#mdm7
Leave me without hope
A
In the past I've been burned
B
But I've lived and I've learned

Chorus:
E     B/B
'Neath the shelter of the pouring rain
C#mB
In the absence of this fear and pain
EB/B
I will finally bid my ball and chains
C#m - B 
A fond farewell
E B/B  
On a road that leads me to my place
C#mB
Gonna rid my heart of past disgrace
AB
I will finally bid this sluggish pace
C#m - B 
A fond farewell...
 
E
I heard their reservations
G#susG#
And I read their bitter words
C#7susC#7
I shined a light upon their wisdom
dm
No matter how absurd
F#m/B  /B#
Oh they broke my heart to pieces
C#mdm7
And I questioned my own beliefs
A
My dignity was gone
B
It's time to move on...

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
A
Say goodbye to feeling sorry for myself
To begging others for far too much help
dm
This is my hand these are the cards that I've been dealt
Only I can make these changes, nobody else
A
Say goodbye to these sleepless nights
Those corridors with no end in sight
dm
A driven man with these words I write
B
I'm making peace with my soul tonight

(Repeat Chorus)
