[A] I'm not being vindictive about this, but uh your crowd sang an Irish song so our crowd is gonna sing a Scottish song
What's more you're gonna sing it along with us?
right
It's a very easy simple chorus, and we want you to [G#] lift [A] the roof
What about you?
There was one up there.
It's very far up
Goes like this.
Here's the chorus
I'm a rover and seldom sober
I'm a rover, oh, [E] I agree
[A] It's when I'm drinking
I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
You heard that song before?
No?
Okay, let's try and sing it
I'm a [F#m] rover
and seldom [A] sober
I'm a rover, oh, I [E] agree
[A] It's when I'm drinking
I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
Now it's very simple, so let's hear you
Don't mind my Scottish accent, it's terrible
There's never a night I'm going to roam
There's never a night I'm going to ramble
Into the air and so [E] my [A] age will love
I'm a rover [D] and seldom [A] sober
I'm a rover, oh, I agree
It's when I'm drinking
I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
Though the night be as dark as dawn
Though a star can be [E] seen above
[A] I will be guided without a stumble
Into the air and so my age will love
I'm a rover [D] and seldom [A] sober
I'm a rover, oh, I agree
[E] It's [A] when I'm drinking
I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
He steps up to [D] her
[A]
Kneeling gently upon [E] a stain
He [A] whispers through her bed
And dearly [A] he liolates
I'm a [D] rover and seldom [A] sober
I'm a rover, oh, I agree
It's when I'm drinking
I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
She raised her head from her bed
Through her arms, her room, her breast
Says, who is that at my bedroom when
There's love in me at my long night's rest
I'm a rover [D] and seldom [A] sober
I'm a rover, oh, [E] I [A] agree
It's when I'm drinking
I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
Says I, my love, [D] [A]
open the door and [E] let me in
For I am [A] come on the line
For the nid wrench paid a skin
I'm a rover [D] and seldom [A] sober
I'm a rover, oh, [E] I agree
[A] It's when I'm drinking
I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
She opened the door and she let him in
They baked a fan and embraced each other
Till the morning as he asked
I'm a rover [D] and seldom [A] sober
I'm a rover, [E] oh, I agree
[A] It's when I'm drinking
I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
Which the cocks were called
There I'm free upon the break
Says I, my lass, I'm the ploughman laddie
And the fame I'm the snowberry
I'm a rover [D] and seldom [A] sober
I'm a rover, oh, I agree
It's when I'm drinking
And I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
Says I, my lass, I'll stay out far above
But I will climb with the [D] greatest pleasure
[Bm] Since [A] I've been in the air and so my love
I'm a rover [D] and seldom [A] sober
I'm a rover, oh, I [E] agree
[A] It's when I'm drinking
And I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
