Chords for Irish Rovers-Whey, hey and up she rises

[Eb] Now back in the [Gm] days when men were men and women were bloody [D] glad of it, too
_ [G] We'll take you back to those days and on those ships.
It was it was hard life.
It was a very hard work
You see they always had a shanty man
He'll be the shanty [Bbm] man and the shanty [D] man got the crew singing
It was very they didn't sing for [Gb] the love of it
They sang to keep the rhythm [D] of the work the rhythm was most important.
Yes.
It was a Catholic crew

So we can really lift the roof with [C] this one if we let her go the way [D] it works is he'll sing a line [B] like a
Shanty man, [Bb] and then the whole crew would respond with way.
Hey [Eb] blow [Gm] the man down.
Oh how exciting _
Way hey blow the man down
[C] Then he'll sing another line and [E] you'll come right in again with give me [Dm] some time to blow the man down
Does that turn you [Bb] on?
No, _ I

crews for the ship the young fellas knew all about [G] how they were floating hills and so
They used to the owners [E] of the ships would get the young fellas drunk the night before in the pub you see and when they woke
Up in the morning with a big hangover
They'd already be out at sea shying high [Bb] by the light of the moon as the saying went.
This is exactly how we got over here
