Karan Casey - Roger The Miller
Capo 4
[Verse 1]
G D G
Young Roger the miller came courting of late
Em C
To a farmer's fine daughter called beautiful Kate
G Bm
She had for her fortune a many fine things
Am D
Beautiful silks and gold, diamonds and rings
G D C Bm
Her father, he gave her a neat plot of ground
Em
She had also a fortune
C Bm D G C G D
She had also a fortune of five hundred pounds
[Verse 2]
G D G
Then the money and supper, they both were laid down
Em C
Well, it was a great sight to see five hundred pounds
G Bm
The sight of that money and beauty likewise
Am D
Made Roger's heart greedy and dazzled his eyes
G D C Bm
"Now that your daughter and money is here
Em
'Tis I will not have her
C Bm D G C G D
'Tis I will not have her without that grey mare"
[Verse 3]
G D G
Then the money and supper were taken from sight
Em C
And likewise young Kathy, his own heart's delight
G Bm
Roger was taken and shown out the door
Am D
And ordered not for to come there anymore
G D C Bm
'Twas then he did tear at his long yellow hair
Em
Saying, "I wish I had never
C Bm D G C G D
I wish I had never spoke of that grey mare"
[Verse 4]
G D G
Now it was when six months, they were over and past
Em C
And Roger the miller, he met with his lass
G Bm
"I think I do know you then, madam," said he
Am D
"I am the same way with you, sir," said she
G D C Bm
"A man with your features with fine yellow hair
Em
Oh, he once came a-courting
C Bm D G
He once came a-courting my father's grey mare"
[Instrumental]
G C G D G C G D
G C G D G C G D
[Verse 5]
G D G
"Well, it was not a-courting the grey mare I came
Em C
But you, my own jewel, my Kathy by name
G Bm
I thought that your father would never dispute
Am D
To give me the grey mare with you to boot
G D C Bm
And not to risk lose such a dutiful son
Em
Oh, it's now I am sorry
C Bm D G D
It's now I am sorry for what I have done"
[Verse 6]
G D G
"For your sorrow, young Roger, I have little regard
Em C
For there's plenty of men in this town to be had
G Bm
If you forgot the grey mare, you'd be married, you see
Am D
But now you have neither the grey mare nor me
G D C Bm
The price of that mare, it was never so great
Em
Oh, fare you well, Roger
C Bm D G C G D
Oh, fare you well, Roger, you're a sorrowful state"
[Verse 7]
G D G
Now Roger's away to his desolate home
Em C
And he sighs as he sits there and sups all alone
G Bm
Kathy, she sings, she is happy and gay
Am D
She has wed a young miller who works the long day
G D C Bm
Lads, when you're courting, be always aware
Em
To court with a young maid
C Bm D G
To court with a young maid and not the grey mare
[Outro]
