Lyrics

(Am)Xa xa bóng người (Em)thương

thấp thoáng trước (F)thềm nhà (G)đang đưa (C)dâu

(Am)Nơi đây phấn son áo màu Em sắp theo (F)chồng bỏ lại bến (G)sông kia chờ (Am)mong

Khái lên khúc (Am)nhạc Hoàng Cầm buồn ngày mình biệt ly

Cung oán cung (G)sầu nặng lòng tiễn chân người ra đi

Xác pháo vu (F)quy bên thềm có chăng hạnh (G)phúc êm đềm Đời người con (Em)gái đục trong mười hai bến nước long đong

Dặm ngàn thiên (Am)lý tiễn người đi Mây nước u (Em)buồn ngày biệt ly Khóc cho duyên (F)mình đoạn trường thương (G)loan đò sang ngang

Áo mới em (Am)cài màu hoa cưới Sánh bước bên (Em)người cùng duyên mới Nâng chén tiêu (F)sầu khải một cung (G)đàn từ biệt nhau
