Kate Rusby - As I Roved Out


INTRO: G+G C majorC D MajorD

  A minorAm   C majorC        D MajorD  G+G
As I roved out one fine May morning
      C majorC G+G    A minorAm   D MajorD
To view the meadows and flowers gay
  C majorC             D MajorD     A minorAm
Oh, who should I spot, but my own true lover
  C majorC     G+G  D MajorD
As she sat by yon willow tree

    A minorAm        C majorC   D MajorD  G+G
I took off my hat and I did salute her
    C majorC  G+G      A minorAm   D MajorD
I did salute her most courageously
    C majorC         D MajorD        A minorAm
As she turned around, the tears fell from her
     C majorC        G+G    D MajorD
Saying, "False young man, you've deluded me


    A minorAm        C majorC    D MajorD    G+G
And the diamond ring I behold, I gave to you
 C majorC    G+G        A minorAm     D MajorD
A augmentedA diamond ring to wear on your right hand
    C majorC            D MajorD       A minorAm
But the vows you made, love, you went and broke them
    C majorC         G+G    D MajorD   G+G C majorC G+G A minorAm
And you wed the lassie who has the land."


             C majorC    D MajorD    G+G
"If I wed the lassie who has the land, my love,
        C majorC  G+G    A minorAm  D MajorD
It's that I'll rue 'til the day I die.
    C majorC            D MajorD      A minorAm
When misfortune falls, sure the man may shun it,
  C majorC   G+G        D MajorD     A minorAm
It was my fault, that I'll not deny"


INSTRUMENTAL: C majorC G+G C majorC A minorAm D MajorD C majorC D MajorD A minorAm C majorC D MajorD


    A minorAm          C majorC   D MajorD  G+G
"And at night when I go to my bed of slumber
  C majorC       G+G    A minorAm  D MajorD
The thoughts of my love are in my mind.
   C majorC        D MajorD      A minorAm
As I turn around to embrace my darling,
   C majorC       G+G     D MajorD
Oh, instead of gold, sure 'tis brass I will find


   A minorAm               C majorC    D MajorD G+G
And I wish The Queen would bring home all her armies
     C majorC   G+G   A minorAm     D MajorD
From the West Indies, America and Spain.
  C majorC        D MajorD    A minorAm
And every man to his wedded woman
    C majorC         G+G       D MajorD
Oh, in hopes that I might be with thee again"
