Altan - As I Roved Out
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
G C G D C G D C G D Em
[Verse 1]
Bm Em
Oh, as I roved out one bright summer's morn
G C G
Down by Blackwaterside
Em D C D
I'd be gazing on the flowers that did bloom all around
Em Bm C
When a pretty Irish girl I spied
G D C D
Oh, 'twas red and rosy was her cheeks
Em Bm A
Golden yellow was her hair
Em Bm Em
As I clasped her by the lily-white hand
G Am C G D
And I said, "My young sweetheart fair"
[Verse 2]
Em Bm Em
There be many a good man's daughter
G C G
Going around from town to town
Em D C D
There be many a good man's daughter with
Em Bm C
Her hair all hanging down
G D C D
They'll be rocking the cradles the whole day long
Em Bm A
Singing, "Low-la, low-la, low"
Em Bm Em
Was there ever a poor and a misfortunate girl
G C G
Was as easily led as you?
[Instrumental]
G C G D C G D C G D Em
[Verse 3]
Bm Em
Oh, that wasn't the promise you made to me
G C G
Down by Blackwaterside
Em D C D
Ah, that wasn't the promise you made to me
Em Bm C
When you asked me to be your bride
G D C D
Ah, that wasn't the promise you made to me
Em Bm A
When you swore you'd be loyal and true
Em Bm Em
When the fishes fly and the seas run dry
G C G
I'll return and I'll marry you
[Outro]
