C C G Am F G C C

C C G Am F G C C

C G F C C G C C

(as the last line of last verse or after last verse repeat last line;

swap 2nd last C chord with F
and last bar of C single strum or root note... or just do your own thing)

chord repetition: first and last the same... 2 middle the same

Lyric variation: I like to sing: Fare "thee" well to Tipp...

timing stays the same as Fare Thee become two 1/8 notes instead of fare as a

1/4 note
