Going Away/Parting Glass 
By The Tossers
>From the album Purgatory (2003)
Tabbed by Drew Hedlund

Going Away is the last track on the CD immedately
followed by Parting Glass which is a cover of an old
Irish folk tune, and like a hidden track. In my
opinion Purgatory is the best Tossers album.  

Going Away
Standard EADGBe tuning. Please note the two parts that
are "mmm", are hummed.  A banjo is used in this song
and picks along on the same chords.
