Tom: E
E A
I stood on the stepstone when schooldays was o'er
E B
Long for the time to go by
E A
Now that it's gone, I stand here tonight
E B E
Bid this old stepstone goodbye
[Chorus]
E A
Goodbye to my stepstone, goodbye to my home
E B
God bless the ones that I leave with a sigh
E A
The field will be widening and I will be gone
E B E
To ramble this wide world alone
[Verse]
E A
I stand on my stepstone at eventide now
E B
The wind whistles by with a moan
E A
Now it is gone and I stand here tonight
E B E
Goodbye to my stepstone and home
[Chorus]
E A
Goodbye to my stepstone, goodbye to my home
E B
God bless the ones that I leave with a sigh
E A
The field will be widening and I will be gone
E B E
To ramble this wide world alone
[Verse]
E A
It's hard to be parted from those that we love
E B
When reverses in fortune have come
E A
The world's strongest heartstrings are broken in twain
E B E
From the absence of loved ones and home
[Chorus]
E A
Goodbye to my stepstone, goodbye to my home
E B
God bless the ones that I leave with a sigh
E A
The field will be widening and I will be gone
E B E
To ramble this wide world alone
