"I'm A Rover" (Trad/Arr. GBS)
From "Turn" (1999)
Sean's Guitar Capo second fret
INTRO:G G G|F G|G G|F C|G G|C G| zX2
G C G
Though the night be dark as dungeon
Em C D
not a star to be seen above
G C G
I will be guided without a stumble
Em D G
into the arms of me only love
I went unto her bedroom window
kneeling gently upon a stone
I rapped on her bedroom window
my darling dear do you lie alone?
CHORUS:
G C G
For I'm a rover, seldom sober
Em C D
I'm a rover of high degree,
G
and when I'm drinking,
C G
I'm always thinking,
Em D G
how to gain my love's company
INTRO
she raised her head from her feathered pillow
raised her arms up around her breast
saying "who's at me bedroom window
disturbing me at me long night's rest?"
It's only me your own true lover
open the door and please let me in,
For I have come on a long night's journey
I am near drenched to the skin
CHORUS, Intro
She opened the door with the greatest pleasure
opened the door and she let me in
we both shook hands and embraced each other
until the morning we lay as one
But now me love I must go and leave you
though the mountains be high above
well,I will climb them with greater pleasure
than have been with me only love
CHORUS x2 first acapella then intro to end on G
the other version on this site misses a couple
passing chords.
