Product Description

Fare Thee Well My Own True Love 
 
Arranged for Intermediate/Advanced Guitar by Dan Jones 
 
I chanced upon this beautiful melody under the title of Irish Love Song in 2022. I quickly arranged it for solo guitar to add to my own repertoire. I then researched the correct title of the melody and found that the closest match was Fare Thee Well My Own True Love. The tune is in two distinct sections and the B section has several variants. This one is lesser known, but I find it very melodic and poignant. 

The score is given in two versions, one with just notes, the second with notes and TAB.  

Less-experienced players could consider playing just the first page which avoids the later higher positions, but still gives the piece in its entirety. 

Various versions of the tune have been recorded by a range of artists. The melody is also similar to that of the folk song The Leaving of Liverpool, also covered by artists as diverse as The Dubliners to The Pogues. 

A YouTube video of the arranger performing the song will be uploaded before the end of April 2023.
