Roger The Miller Chords by Karan Casey

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