Verse 1:

A minorAm             C majorC
I'm just a traveler passing through
    G+G
I wont haunt or bother you
             E minorEm    A minorAm
Though you could lend an ear to my story


Verse 2:

A minorAm         C majorC
You can call me old Jack
        G+G
You might have seen me caped in Black
       E minorEm       A minorAm
As I roam the streets of the village


Intro Riff:


Verse 3:

A minorAm         C majorC
In her long flowing hair
     G+G
You might find my story there
           E minorEm           A minorAm
Though it was not my own hand that killed her

Verse 4:

A minorAm           C majorC
I went down a moon lit trail
G+G
Rode out on a rail
       E minorEm      A minorAm
And began my long life of journeys


Chorus:

A minorAm    G+G           A minorAm
In the ripple that rolls on the water
A minorAm   G+G            A minorAm
In the high rolling wave out at sea
A minorAm    G+G           A minorAm
In the shadow that flies on the valley
A minorAm    G+G            E minorEm
In the middle is where you'll find me


Banjo Solo:

A minorAm (C majorC G+G) (E minorEm A minorAm)


Verse 5:

A minorAm         C majorC
In a bath tub for a boat
  G+G
My passage I did float
               E minorEm      A minorAm
Joined the ranks right on the docks of the city


Verse 6:

A minorAm             C majorC
In the fire of the Devil's den
G+G
With the gray-coated men
    E minorEm               A minorAm
I lost all my hope and my two brothers


Fiddle Solo:

A minorAm (C majorC G+G) (E minorEm A minorAm)


Verse 7:

A minorAm          C majorC
So I wandered in the West
     G+G
I settled down and did my best
          E minorEm     A minorAm
But my heart was unsteady and restless


Verse 8:

A minorAm            C majorC
I took a room on Houseton Street
     G+G
Where the pawned poets would meet
           E minorEm     A minorAm
And we poured out the wine of the ages


Chorus:

A minorAm    G+G           A minorAm
In the ripple that rolls on the water
A minorAm   G+G             A minorAm
In the hard-hearted moon we both see
A minorAm    G+G           A minorAm
In the shadow that falls in the alley
A minorAm    G+G        E minorEm
In the riddle is where I’ll be


Bridge:

FF     A minorAm
Ten little fingers...
FF     A minorAm
Ten little toes...
FF      A minorAm
Sleep little baby...
     G+G  FF
Will you ever know?
G+G    FF
Will you ever know?


Intro Riff:


Verse 9:

A minorAm          C majorC
Years ago my lid was sealed
       G+G
They threw me down in the potter's field
        E minorEm       A minorAm
With the souls of the lost and forgotten


Verse 10:

A minorAm               C majorC
And though my name is dead and gone
  G+G
I remain and I carry on
          E minorEm     A minorAm
And I roam with an old band of brothers


Verse 11:

A minorAm              C majorC
And if you strum the ancient string
    G+G
You may call my spirit in
     E minorEm            A minorAm
Or if you blow on the whole of the whistle


Verse 12:

A minorAm         C majorC
By an old highland air
   G+G
I may stop and listen there
              E minorEm        A minorAm
Or when the wren pulls her nest from the thistle


Chorus:

A minorAm    G+G           A minorAm
In the ripple that rolls on the water
A minorAm   G+G            A minorAm
In the high rolling wave out at sea
A minorAm    G+G           A minorAm
In the shadow that flies on the valley
A minorAm   G+G            E minorEm
In a riddle is where you'll find me

Outro:

N.C.
High above the cuillen moor
Stands the ole' man of storr
In the mist, the stone, and the mountain
If you scramble up that scree
Won't you stay a while for me
And watch the white rollin' waves wash the island
