G C D G
[Verse 1]
G C G I come from Paddy’s land; I’m a rake and ramblin’ man C G A D Since I was young, I’ve had the urge to roam G C G So don’t you weep for me. When I’m sailing on the sea C D G For you won’t see me till I come rolling home
[Chorus]
C G Rolling home to Ireland, rolling home across the sea Em A D Back to me own con-ter-ree (country) G C A Two thousand miles behind us and a thousand more to go D G So fill the sails and blow winds blow!
[Verse 2]
G C G We sailed away from Cork; We were headed for New York C G A D I’d always dreamed the sailor’s life for me G C G But the days were hard and long; With no women, wine, or song C D G And it wasn’t quite the fun I’d thought ‘twould be
[Chorus]
C G Rolling home to Ireland, rolling home across the sea Em A D Back to me own con-ter-ree (country) G C A Two thousand miles behind us and a thousand more to go D G So fill the sails and blow winds blow!
[Verse 3]
G C G We weren’t too long a-sail; When the wind became a gale C G A D Our boat was tossed and turned upon the foam G C G With waves like moutains high; Well I thought that I would die C D G I wished to God that I was rolling home
[Chorus]
C G Rolling home to Ireland, rolling home across the sea Em A D Back to me own con-ter-ree (country) G C A Two thousand miles behind us and a thousand more to go D G So fill the sails and blow winds blow!
[Verse 4]
A D A And when I reach the shore; I will go to sea no more D A B E There’s more to life than sailing ‘round the Horn A D A Good luck to sailor men; When they’re headed out again D E A I wish them all safe harbor from the storm
[Chorus]
D A Rolling home to Ireland, rolling home across the sea F#m B E Back to me own con-ter-ree (country) A D B Two thousand miles behind us and a thousand more to go E A So fill the sails and blow winds blow!
