The Irish Rovers – Across The Western Sea (Guitar)

   C             F        C
As I was walking down the street

 C                 G
Across the western ocean

  C                 F     C
A fair young lassie I did meet

 C         G       C
[tab]    F     C       G        C
She was a beauty, bough to stern

 C                 G
Across the western ocean

    C                  F     C
And for her treasures, I did yearn

 C         G       C
Across the western sea

   F                 C
Oh when we reach the other shore

 G                 C
Across the western ocean

      F                     C
We'll drink like hell we'll rant and roar

 C         G       C
Across the western sea

    C            F       C
She asked if I'd stand a treat

 C                 G
Across the western ocean

  C                 F      C
I will, says I, for one so sweet

 C         G       C
Across the western sea

   F      C        G      C
Up to her quarters we did go

 C                 G
Across the western ocean

  C                   F       C
I kissed her from her head to toe

 C         G       C
Across the western sea

   F                 C
Oh when we reach the other shore

 G                 C
Across the western ocean

      F                     C
We'll drink like hell we'll rant and roar

 C         G       C
Across the western sea

   C                F       C
We took no, rest we forged ahead

 C                 G
Across the western ocean

   C                  F         C
We rocked and rolled around the bed

 C         G       C
Across the western sea

     F     C        G      C
Then heavy footstep on the stairs

 C                 G
Across the western ocean

    C                    F        C
"Oh dear", says she, "my husbands there"

 C         G       C
Across the western sea

   F                 C
Oh when we reach the other shore

 G                 C
Across the western ocean

      F                     C
We'll drink like hell we'll rant and roar

 C         G       C
Across the western sea

  C                  F     C
I lept from bed, put on my clothes

 C                 G
Across the western ocean

    C                F        C
His fist it found me bare old nose

 C         G       C
Across the western sea

   F        C      G      C
He shook me like a ragged doll

 C                 G
Across the western ocean

      C                    F        C
I was kicked about like an old foot-ball

 C         G       C
Across the western sea

   F                 C
Oh when we reach the other shore

 G                 C
Across the western ocean

      F                     C
We'll drink like hell we'll rant and roar

 C         G       C
Across the western sea

     D            G          D
He'd murder me, I knew right well

 D                 A
Across the western ocean

   D                  G         D
So down the stairs, I flew like hell

 D         A       D
Across the western sea

      G      D           A       D
Come, sailor boys, where ever ya be

 D                 G
Across the western ocean

  D                  G       D
I hope ya's all take mind of me

 D         G       D
Across the western sea

   G                 D
Oh when we reach the other shore

 A                 D
Across the western ocean

      G                     D
We'll drink like hell we'll rant and roar

 D         A       D
Across the western sea

   G                 D
Oh when we reach the other shore

 A                 D
Across the western ocean

      G                     D
We'll drink like hell we'll rant and roar

 D         A       D
Across the western sea
