C                           F
Oh have you seen my dear companion
           C                 G
For he was all this world to me
            C                F
I hear he's gone to some far country
             C       G        C 
And that he cares no more for me
         F              C
I wish I were a swallow flying
             C                 G
I'd fly to a high and lonesome place
             C                   F
I'd join the wild birds in their crying
            C    G             C
Thinking of you and your sweet face

SOLO

C                           F
Oh have you seen my dear companion
           C                 G
For he was all this world to me
            C                    F
But now the stars have turned against me
       C        G        C
And he cares no more for me
             F             C
Oh when the dark is on the mountain
                              G
And all the world has gone to sleep
          C                     F
I will go down to the cold dark waters
               C      G        C 
And there I'll lay me down and weep
            F               C
Oh have you seen my dear companion
            F               C
Oh have you seen my dear companion
            F                C
Oh have you seen my dear companion
           C       G         C         
For he was all this world to me
