[C] In [D] [G#]
[D] the year of our Lord,
1806, we set sail
from the sweet [A] cove of Cork.
And we [D] were sailing
away with [G] a carload of bricks
[D] for the Grand [A] City Hall
[D] in New York.
It was
wonderful craft [A] she was
rigged for and naff, [D] and oh how
the [A] wild wind drove her
as she stood severed blast.
She'd twenty [G]-seven masts,
[D] and they called her the [A] Irish
[D] Rover.
There was
Barnaby from the banks
[G] of the Lee.
[D] There was Hogan
from County [A] Tyneville.
And [D] there was John the Look
who was [G] scarce to help us.
[A] And a man from the Swedes [D] called
Malone.
There was
Connor Rotherall who [A] was ten
thousand old, [D]
fighting
the [A] Dressy from Dover.
[D] And a man like McCann
from the banks [G] of the Pan
was [D] a skimmer of the [A] Irish
[D] Rover. Hey!

[A] [D] We had one million

We had two [G] million
[A] barrels of stones.
[D] We had three million sites
of [G] a blind horse's hide.
[D] And four [A] million [D] barrels of
bones.
We had five
million [A] hounds, six million
[D] ducks, seven million
[A] barrels of coal.
[D] We had eight million bears,
and [G] many ghost whales.
[D] And the whole of the [A] Irish
[D] Rover. Hey!

[D] I was sailing seven years

[B] And the ship lost its way [A] in a fog.
[D] And the whale
of the crew was [G] reduced
to the tip.
[D] Just we [A] said,
I'm the captain's [D] out dog.
And then the ship took a rock.
Oh Lord, what a shock.
The boat, she turned [A] right over.
[D] Turned nine times around.
And the peril [C] [G] was right.
[A] I'm the last
of the Irish Rover.
