The Parting Glass Chords

Intro

Gb  spoken 

I'm not a perfect man, Not even a good man

But I'm not the sum of my mistakes

Or the sum of all the good things I've done

The truth lies somewhere between the two

But I'm a man who has been loved well

Both by God and by his family

And I'm a grateful man

So friends, walk slow, go easy

And love well
