I’m a Rover – Dubliners
Tab’d by wompton

Capo on 2nd fret

[CHORUS]
G C G
I'm a rover and seldom sober
D
I'm a rover, o' high degree
G C G
It’s when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
G D G
How to gain my love's company


[VERSE 1]
G C G
Though the night be dark as dungeon
D
No' a star can be seen above,
G C G
I will be guided without a stumble
G D G
Into the arms o' my own true love


[CHORUS]
G C G
I'm a rover and seldom sober
D
I'm a rover, o' high degree
G C G
It’s when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
G D G
How to gain my love's company


[VERSE 2]
G C G
He stepped up to her bedroom window,
D
Kneelin' gently upon a stone
G C G
He whispered through her bedroom-window
G D G
"My Darlin' dear, do you lie alone?"


[CHORUS]
G C G
I'm a rover and seldom sober
D
I'm a rover, o' high degree
G C G
It’s when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
G D G
How to gain my love's company


[VERSE 3]
G C G
She raised her head from her down-white pillow
D
Through her arms about her breast,
G C G
"say who is that at my bedroom window
G D G
Disturbin' me at my long night's rest?"


[CHORUS]
G C G
I'm a rover and seldom sober
D
I'm a rover, o' high degree
G C G
It’s when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
G D G
How to gain my love's company


[VERSE 4]
G C G
“Says I my love it’s, thy own true lover,
D
Open the door and let me in.
G C G
For I have come on a long nights journey,
G D G
And I'm near drenched to the skin."


[CHORUS]
G C G
I'm a rover and seldom sober

I'm a rover, o' high degree
G C G
It’s when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
G D G
How to gain my love's company


[VERSE 5]
G C G
She opened the door with the greatest pleasure,
D
She opened the door and she let him in,
G C G
They baith shook hands and embraced each other
G D G
Until the mornin' they lay as one


[CHORUS]
G C G
I'm a rover and seldom sober
D
I'm a rover, o' high degree
G C G
It’s when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
G D G
How to gain my love's company


[VERSE 6]
G C G
The cocks were crowin', the birds were whistlin'
D
The burns they ran free abune the brae
G C G
"Says I my lass, I'm a ploughman laddie
G D G
And the farmer I must obey."


[CHORUS]
G C G
I'm a rover and seldom sober
D
I'm a rover, o' high degree
G C G
It’s when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
G D G
How to gain my love's company


[VERSE 7]
G C G
Says I my love, I must go and leave you
D
And climb the hills they are far above,
G C G
But I will climb with the greatest pleasure
G D G
Since I been in the arms o' my love.


[CHORUS]
G C G
I'm a rover and seldom sober
D
I'm a rover, o' high degree
G C G
It’s when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
G D G
How to gain my love's company
