Next lesson by Johannes Broborn. He seems to be a big Fan of Ye Vagabonds. So this is his take on the song I'm a Rover.
First the recorded version by Johannes:
{title: I'm A Rover}
Capo on 3rd fret
{soc}
[D]I'm a rover and[G] seldom so[D]ber
I'm a rover, o' high de[A]gree;
And when I'm[D] drinking, I'm [A]always [D]thinking
How to [G]gain my love's[A] compa[D]ny.
{eoc}
Though the [D]night be [G]dark as [D]dungeon,
not a star to be seen a[A]bove
I will be [D]guided with[A]out a [D]stumble,
into the [G]arms of me [A]only [D]love
I went up [D]to her [G]bedroom [D]window,
kneeling gently upon a [A]stone
Oh, I [D]rapped on her [A]bedroom [D]window
My darling [G]dear, do you [A]lie a[G]lone?
{soc}
[D]I'm a a rover and[G] seldom so[D]ber
I'm a rover, o' high de[A]gree;
And when I'm[D] drinking, I'm [A]always [D]thinking
How to [G]gain my love's[A] compa[D]ny.
{eoc}
She raised her [D]head up from her [G]feather[D]pillow
Raised her arms up around her [A]breast
Saying [D] at me [A]bedroom [D]window,
disturbing [G]me at me [A]long night's [D]rest?
It's only [D], your [G]own true [D]lover,
open the [Bm]door and please [G]let me [A]in
For I have [D]come on a [A]long night's [D]journey
I am near [G]drench - ed [A]to the [D]skin
{soc}
[D]I'm a a rover and[G] seldom so[D]ber
I'm a rover, o' high de[A]gree;
And when I'm[D] drinking, I'm [A]always [D]thinking
How to gain my love's[A] compa[D]ny.
{eoc}
She opened the [D]door with the [G]greatest [D]pleasure
Opened the [D]door and she let me [A]in
We both shook [D]hands and em[G]braced each [D]other
'Til the [Bm]morning we [A]lay as [G]one
Well now me [Bm]love, I must go and [D]leave you
Though the [F#m]mountains be [Em]high a[A]bove
Well, I will [D]climb them with [G]greater [D]pleasure
That I have [G]been with me [A]only [G]love
{soc}
[D]I'm a a rover and[G] seldom so[D]ber
I'm a rover, o' high de[A]gree;
And when I'm[D] drinking, I'm [A]always [D]thinking
How to [G]gain my love's[A] compa[D]ny.
{eoc}
