Oh every girl that ever I've touched

I did not do it harmfully

And every girl that ever I've hurt

I did not do it knowingly

But to remain as friends, you need the time

To make amends and stay behind

And since my feet are now fast

And point away from the past

I'll bid farewell and be down the line

Oh every foe that ever I faced

The cause was there before we came

And every cause that ever I fought

I fought it full without regret or shame

But the dark does die as the curtain is drawn

And somebody's eyes must meet the dawn

And if I see the day I'd only have to stay

So I'll bid farewell in the night and be gone

Oh every thought that strung a knot in my mind

I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung

But it's not to stand naked under unknown (unknowin'?) eyes

It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung

But the time ain't tall if on time you depend

And no word is possessed by no special friend

And though the line is cut it ain't quite the end

I'll just bid farewell till we meet again

Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time

To disgrace, distract and bother me

And the dirt of gossip blows into my face

And the dust of rumors covers me

But if the arrow is straight and the point is slick

It can pierce through the dust no matter how thick

So I'll make my stand and remain as I am

And bid farewell and not give a damn

Harmonica played cross harp (blues style)--use key of A

freely are the strings strummed or picked for each chord, varying

are left out, played with a different root, notes hammered etc.
