Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
I love this song.
First I wanted to write the tabs of the solos, but finally I've tried to transpose them into chords, so
it would be for non professionnal -as I am- to play the song and the instrumental part (though there are no
mistake of course).
I spent a long time trying to do this and even if it's not perfect, hope you'll appreciate.
Good play !
(If someone could give me the words of "hundred times better with you", as I'm not a very good english
speaker that would help me to find the chords too).

There once was a lad who lived in the mountains
F Dm G
Ran through the valleys and played in the fountains
C Dm E7
A merry adventurer wild and free
C Dm C
The rambling life and him did agree
Music: C D2
C D2 Dm C
Of love he was sworn to never acquire
F Dm G
Free from the chains of a sweetheart’s desire
C Dm E7
Many a woman was sorely dismayed
C Dm C
The lively young lad they could not dissuade
Music: D2 G Dm D2

Dm D2 Am
C D Dm C
One morning in june while out on the water
F Dm G
The boy caught a glimpse of the mayor’s own daughter
C F E7
In all of his travels he never had seen
C Dm C
A sight like the lassie that stood on the green
C D Dm C
He rowed back to shore so determined to find her
F Dm G
Into the town he endeavored to spy her
C Dm E7
Soon he arrived at her father’s own door
C Dm Am
The home of the girl he had seen on the shore
Music: D2 G Dm D2

D2 D G F7M E A (fast)
Dm D2 Am
C D Dm C
He knocked at the door and spoke to her father
F Dm G
Requesting permission to call on his daughter
C Dm E7
But the mayor refused and try as he may
C Dm Am
The lad was condemned for his rambling way
Music: D2 G D2 G
C D Dm C
He turned in dismay at a loss how to win her
F Dm G
Once all contented his heart turning bitter
C Dm E
When who should call out from the window above
C Dm C
But the maid he desired and wished now to love
D2 G
C D Dm C
Pray tell is it true that you roam through the mountains
F Dm G
Run through the valleys and play in the fountains
C Dm F7M
It’s long that I’ve wished to be wild and free
C Dm Am
For a rambler’s wife I’ve wanted to be
Music: D2 G Dm D2
Em D2 G
D2 D G F7M E A (fast)
Dm D2 Am
C D Dm C
With no more ado they ran off together
F Dm G
Contented to live in the hills and the heather
C Dm E7
And long was their happiness free from all strife
C Dm Am
With adventures aplenty from the rambling life
Music: D2 G Dm D2
Em D2 G
D2 D G F7M E A (fast)
Dm D2 Am
C-A-C-A-C
End with a C
