Rab Noakes - Niel Gow's Apprentice
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] G D7/F# G D7/F# G
[CHORUS:]
D7/F# G
Oh, no more will I rove, no more, it's over
D7/F# G
Oh, no more will I rove, no more, it's done
C
I'll sit beneath the fiddle tree
Am D
With the ghost of Niel Gow next to me
G D7/F# G
Listen Niel, the apprentice has begun
[VERSE 1:]
D7/F# G
An old man sits at his inglenook and he wonders
D7/F# G
His brother in a foreign land, he must remain
C
Deeved about the life they choose
Am D
They each would wear the other one's shoes
G D7/F# G
This motherland is a source of constant pain
[CHORUS:]
D7/F# G
Oh, no more will I rove, no more, it's over
D7/F# G
Oh, no more will I rove, no more, it's done

I'll sit beneath the fiddle tree
Am D
With the ghost of Niel Gow next to me
G D7/F# G
Listen Niel, the apprentice has begun
[VERSE 2:]
D7/F# G
Rumbling Brig, I heard your music calling
D7/F# G
In the outback still I heard your song
C
Feeding from a foreign field
Am D
With far more fish than the Braan could yield
G D7/F# G
This trip will be my last and it won't be long
[CHORUS:]
D7/F# G
Oh, no more will I rove, no more, it's over
D7/F# G
Oh, no more will I rove, no more, it's done
C
I'll sit beneath the fiddle tree
Am D
With the ghost of Niel Gow next to me
