Capo - I
[Chorus]
A
Ciao papa, mio papa
G
Time has come to say farewell
Bm
For how long will I go? Is it far?
E7
No one knows, no one can tell
[Verse 1]
Bm Bbaug
If I Am gone for a long, long time
Am E
I'll pack away a fine piece of shine
Am7 D
The sounds of birds chirping with bells
Fmaj7 C Dm7
Drawings of plums, two bags of shells
Bb Gm7
The smell of bread, a drop of wine
Am E7
Your memory, father of mine
A
Farewell, my papa
[Chorus]
A
Ciao papa, mio papa
G
Time has come to say farewell
Bm
I Am ready to go, going far
E7
Now I know it will be swell
[Verse 2]
Bm Bbaug
I shall be gone for a long, long time
Am E
Shall be picking many peaks to climb
Am7 D
Maybe I'll see a camel cry
Fmaj7 ´ C Dm7
Dangerous pirates with a black eye
Bb Gm7
Rain or shine, I'll keep in mind
Am E7
Your memory, father of mine
A
Farewell, my papa
[Verse 3]
Bm Bbaug
And as I gamble on my long, long climb
Am E
I hold on tight to our best of times
Am7 D
Eyes in the rain, I tried to hide
Fmaj7 C Dm7
Tears of a boy who shouldn't cry
Bb Gm7
Forevermore I'll keep in mind
Am E7
Your memory, father of mine
A
Farewell, my papa
