Kunci Gitar Irish Rovers - The Irish Rover

a song originally by the pogues , this is a version of the song the irish rovers play

in the [ G ] year of our lord , eighteen hundred and [ C ] six ,
we set [ G ] sail from the sweet cove of [ D ] cork
we were [ G ] sailing away with a cargo of [ C ] bricks
for the [ G ] grand city hall in new [ G ] york
she was A [ G ] wonderful craft , she was [ D ] rigged ’fore and aft
and how [ G ] the wild winds [ C ] drove her
she ’stood [ G ] several blasts , she had [ Em ] twenty – three [ C ] masts
and they [ G ] called her the [ C ] irish rover

there was [ G ] barney mcgee from the banks of the [ C ] lee
there was [ G ] hogan from county ty – [ D ] – rone
there was [ G ] johnny mcgurk who was scared stiff of [ C ] work
and A [ G ] man from westmeath called [ G ] malone
there was [ G ] slugger o’toole who was [ D ] drunk as a rule
[ G ] and fighting bill tracy from [ D ] dover
and your [ G ] man mick mccann , from the [ Em ] banks of the bann
was the [ G ] skipper of the [ D ] irish [ G ] rover

we had [ G ] one million bags of the best sligo [ C ] rags
we had [ G ] two million barrels of [ D ] stones
we had [ G ] three million sides of old blind horses’ [ C ] hides
we had [ G ] four million [ D ] barrels of [ G ] bones
we had [ G ] five million hogs and [ D ] six million dogs
[ G ] and seven million barrels of [ D ] porter
we had [ G ] eight million bales of old [ Em ] nanny goats’ [ C ] tails
in the [ G ] hold of the [ D ] irish [ G ] rover

we had [ G ] sailed seven years when the measles broke [ C ] out
and our [ G ] ship lost her way in the [ D ] fog
and the [ G ] whole of the crew was reduced down to [ C ] two
’twas [ G ] meself and [ D ] the captain’s old [ G ] dog
then the [ G ] ship struck a rock; oh lord [ D ] what a shock
[ G ] the bulkhead was turned right [ D ] over
we turned [ G ] nine times around – then [ Em ] the poor old dog was [ C ] drowned
now i’m [ G ] the last of the [ D ] irish [ G ] rover
