From "Turn" (1999) Alan plays in A without a capo. [Intro] G F G x2 [Verse]
            G
Though the night be dark as dungeon,

G                       D
not a star to be seen above,

            G
I will be guided without a stumble,

                     D    G
into the arms of me only love.
[Verse]
          G              C  G
I went unto her bedroom window,

G                        D
kneeling gently upon a stone.

G                        C  G
I rapped on her bedroom window,

G                       D    G
me darlin' dear do you lie alone?
[Chorus]
           G             C G
For I'm a rover, seldom sober,

       Em       C       D
I'm a rover of high degree,

                G
and when I'm drinking,

             C  G
I'm always thinking,

        Em             D  G
how to gain my love's company
G F G [Verse]
                 G
She raised her head from her feathered pillow,

G                               D
raised her arms up around her breast.

         G
saying "who's at me bedroom window,

G                    D            G
disturbing me at me long night's rest?"
[Verse]
          G                 C G
It's only me your own true lover,

G                               D
open the door and please let me in.

            G
For I have come on a long night's journey,

G                  D        G
I am near drenched to the skin.
[Chorus]

       Em       C       D

how to gain my love's company

                G
She opened the door with the greatest pleasure,

G                        D
opened the door and she let me in.

G
We both shook hands and embraced each other,

G                    D      G
'til the morning we lay as one.
[Verse]
            G                  C     G
But now me love I must go and leave you,

G                        D     G
though the mountains be high above,

              G                       C  G
well,I will climb them with greater pleasure,

G                       D    G
than have been with me only love!
[Chorus] N.C. For I'm a rover, seldom sober, N.C. I'm a rover of high degree,
               G
and when I'm drinking,
N.C. I'm always thinking,
        Em             D  G
how to gain my love's company

           G             C G
For I'm a rover, seldom sober,

       Em       C       D
I'm a rover of high degree,

                G
and when I'm drinking,

             C  G
I'm always thinking,

        Em             D  G
how to gain my love's company.
