[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]
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 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.
