[Verse 1]
G             C                 G               D
Sweet may the fiddle sound, the banjo play, the old hoedown
G             C               G        D    G
Dancers swing round and round when I'm far away

Well may the world go when I'm far away

Well may the world go when I'm far away

Sweet may the breezes blow, clear may the streams flow
G           C           G        D    G
Blue above, green below when I'm far away

Swift may the skiers turn, the swimmers churn, the lovers burn

Peace, may the nations learn, when I'm far away

Well may the world go when I'm far away

Well may the world go when I'm far away
