From the album 'The Vanguard Years' [Introduction] D A E A [Verse 1]
A             E7       A
A-rovin' on a winter's night

               E7   D   A
And a-drinkin' good old wine,

A         D         A             F#m
Thinkin' about that pretty little girl,

F#m   A          E7       A
Thats broke this heart of mine.
[Verse 2]
A                  E7     A
She is just like a butter rose,

                    E7    D  A
That bloomed in the month of June.

A            D       A     F#m
Or like some musical instrument,

F#m    A         E7     A
That's just been lately tuned.
[Instrumental] A E7 A A E7 D A A D A F#m F#m A E7 A [Verse 3]
A                        E7      A
Perhaps it's a trip to a foreign land, 

          E7     D  A
A trip to France or Spain, 

A               D           A   F#m
But if I should go ten thousand miles, 

F#m   A      E7    A
I'm a-comin' back again.
[Verse 4]
A                                E7          A
And it's who's a-gonna shoe your poor little feet, 

                    E7    D           A
Honey who's a-gonna glove your little hands? 

A             D     A             F#m
Who's a-gonna kiss your sweet sweetlips, 

F#m            A       E7      A
Tell me, who's a-gonna be your man?
[Verse 5]
A                      E7       A
I'll love you till the sea runs dry, 

A                 E7   D      A
And the rocks all melt in the sun. 

A          D         A    F#m
I love you till the day I die, 

F#m        A    E7          A
Though you will never be my own.
[Verse 6]
A             E7       A
A-rovin' on a winter's night

                E7  D   A
And a-drinkin' good old wine, 

A         D         A             F#m
Thinkin' about that pretty little girl, 

F#m  A          E7       A
That broke this heart of mine.
