[Intro] Em C D Dsus4 C Em C D Dsus4 B Em C D Dsus4 C Em C D Dsus4 B [Verse 1]
Em           C     D        Dsus4
I chase your every footstep

C      Em     C     D   Dsus4  B
and I follow every whim.

         Em       C        D     Dsus4
When you call the tune I'm re ady

C    Em           C     D   Dsus4  B
to strike up the battle hymn.

   Em   C      D      Dsus4
My lady of the meadows

C   Em     C      D    Dsus4  B
My comber of the beach

       Em         C         D     Dsus4
You've thrown the stick for your dog's trick

C        Em       C      D    Dsus4  B
but it's floating out of reach.
[Chorus]
    C         D    G               F
The long road is a rainbow and the pot

             Em
of gold lies there.

   C        D             Fsus4
So slip the chain and I'm off again.

       C            D            C
You'll find me everywhere. I'm a Rover.
[Verse 2]
       Em    C          D      Dsus4
As the robin craves the summer

C   Em      C        D   Dsus4   B
to hide his smock of red,

  Em       C              D    Dsus4
I need the pillow of your hair

C  Em       C       D   Dsus4 B
in which to hide my head.

    Em     C     D       Dsus4
I'm simple in my sadness,

C  Em          C  D       Dsus4 B
   resourceful in remorse.

         Em   C         D          Dsus4
Then I'm down straining at the lead

C       Em   C        D      Dsus4  B
holding on a windward course.
[Chorus]
    C         D    G               F
The long road is a rainbow and the pot

             Em
of gold lies there.

   C        D             Fsus4
So slip the chain and I'm off again.

       C            D            C
You'll find me everywhere. I'm a Rover.
Em C D Dsus4 C Em C D Dsus4 B [Verse 3]
Em       C        D     Dsus4
Strip me from the bundle

C  Em          C     D    Dsus4  B
of balloons at every fair:

Em    C       D        Dsus4
colourful and carefree, 

C   Em          C        D    Dsus4  B
    Designed to make you stare.

        Em   C       D     Dsus4
But I'm lost and I'm losing

C   Em          C        D    Dsus4  B
the thread that holds me down.

        Em C       D
And I'm up hot and rising

C      Em        C     D    Dsus4  B
in the lights of every town.
[Chorus]
    C         D    G                    F
The long road is a rainbow and the pot

             Em
of gold lies there.

   C        D             Fsus4
So slip the chain and I'm off again ---

       C            D            C
You'll find me everywhere. I'm a Rover.
