8 -9 9 8 7 -7 -6 -6 -6 6 8 ‘8 7
Will I play the wild rover, no never no more

I went into an alehouse I used to frequent
I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me «Nay
Such a custom as yours I can have any day».

Chorus

I took out from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight
She said «I’ve got whiskeys and wines of the best
And the words that I spoke they were only in jest».

Chorus

I’ll go home to my parents, confess what I’ve done
And I’ll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And if they caress me as oft times before
Sure I never will play the wild rover no more.

Chorus

*I think this song sounds better
in a lower key like A or G.
I’ve been playing it on an Ab/G#
and it sounds pretty darn good. (smile)))




The Wild Rippling Water

Key: C
3/4 time

-6 6 5 -6 6 5 -6 -6 6 5 -4 4
As I was a walk-in’ and a ram-blin’ one day,
6 7 -7 8 7 7 7 7 -6 7
I met a fair cou-ple mak-in’ their way.
6 7 -7 8 7 7 -6 -6 7 7 -6 7
And one was a cow-boy, and a brave one was he.
6 -6 6 5 5 -6 6 5
And the oth-er was a la-dy
5 -6 6 5 -45 4
and a fair one was she.
-6 6 5 5 -6 6 5 5 -6 6 5 -45 4
The oth-er was a la-dy and a fair one was she.

«Oh where are you going my pretty, fair maid?»
«Just down by the River, just down by the shade,
Just down by the River, just down by the spring
To see the Water gliding and the nightingale sing.
To see the Water gliding hear the nightingale sing.»

They had not been there but an hour or so
When out of his satchel came fiddle and bow
He played a tune that made the woods ring
She said I can’t hear the nightingale sing
She said I can’t hear the nightingale sing

He said pretty lady it’s time to give o’er
O no pretty cowboy just play one tune more
I’d rather hear the fiddle or the touch of one string
Than to see the water gliding or the nightingale sing
Than to see the water gliding hear the nightingale sing

She said pretty cowboy will you marry me
O no pretty lady that never can be
I’ve a wife in Arizona and a lady is she
One wife and a cow ranch is aplenty for me
One wife and a cow ranch is aplenty for me

Well I’m going out to Mexico I’ll stay ‘bout a year
I’ll drink red wine, I’ll drink lots of beer
If I ever return it will be in the spring
To see the water gliding and the nightingasle sing
To see the water gliding hear the nightingale sing.

The Whole Of The Moon

-2 4 -4 -4 -4 -3
I pic-tured a rain-bow

5 5 -4 4 4
You held in your hands

5 -4 -4 -2
I had flash-es

2 5 5 5 5
But you saw the plan

Verse 1

-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4
I wand-ered out in the world for years

4 6 -5 6 -4 -4 4
While you just stayed in your room

-4 -4 4 -4 -4
I saw the cres-cent

5 5 5 5 -4 4 4
You saw the whole of the moon

4 6 -5 5 4
The whole of the moon

5 5 5 5 -4 5 5
You were there in the turn-stiles

5 -4 5 5 5 5
With the wind at your heels

-4 5 5 -4 5
You stretched for the stars

-5 5 5 5 5 5
And you know how it feels

-4 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4
To reach too high too far too soon

5 5 5 5 -4 4 4
You saw the whole of the moon

(spoken)(you can play -5b if u wish)
I was grounded

5 5 5 5 5
While you filled the skies

5 5 5 5 -4 4 4
I was dumb-found-ed by truths

5 5 5 5
You cut through lies

-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -2
I saw the rain-dir-ty val-ley

6 -5 -5 5 4 5 -4 4 -4 -4
You saw brig-a-doon I saw the cres-cent

5 5 5 5 -4 4 4
You saw the whole of the moon

-2 4 4 4 -3b 4 5 5 5
I spoke a-bout the wings you just flew

-4 5 5 5 5 -4 4 4
I won-dered, i guessed, and i tried

5 5 5 5 5
You just knew I sighed

6 6 -5 5 5 5 5 4
But you swooned I saw the cres-cent

5 5 5 5 -4 4 4
You saw the whole of the moon

5 5 -4 4 4
The whole of the moon!

VERSE 2 same as 1
With a torch in your pocket
And the wind at your heels
You climbed on the ladder
And you know how it feels
To reach too high too far too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

(Spoken)
Unicorns and cannonballs,
Palaces and piers,
Trumpets, towers, and tenemets,
Wide oceans full of tears,
Flag, rags, ferry boats,
Scimitars and scarves,
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars

5 6 6 -5 5 5 5
Yes, You climbed on the lad-der

6 6 6 -5 5 5
With the wind in your sails

6 6 -5 5 5 5
You came like a com-et

6 -5 5 5
Blaz-ing your trail

5 -4 5 -4 5 -4
Too high Too far Too soon

5 5 5 5 -4 4 4
You saw the whole of the moon

The West, A Nest,And You

5 3 -2” 3 4
I have dreamed my dreams
-4 5 3 -2” 3 4
And I have schemed my schemes
-4 5 -4 5 -5 -4 4 -4 5 4
And I have built my castles in the air.
5 3 -2” 3 4
Dreams may come and go
-4 5 3 -2” 3 4
The sweetest dream I know
-4 4 -4 5 -6 -4 4 -4 5 4
Still lingers with me from the long ago.

3 -4 4 -4 4 -4 -4
The west, a nest and you Dear
-4 5 -4 5 -4 5
Oh what a dream t’would be
5 -5 5 -5 5 -5 -5
A cozy little cottage
-5 6 -5 6 -5 5
Beside the western sea
4 -6 6 -6 6 -6 -6
And who knows someday maybe
-6 6 -6 6 -5 5
My dreams will all come true
3 -4 4 -4 4 -4 -4
A cradle and a baby
-4 5 4 -4 -3 4
The west, a nest and you.

verse 2:
The land where dreams come true
Where skies are always blue
Just leave me there alone Sweetheart with you.
Underneath the palms
I’ll hold you in my arms
And promise that I ever will be true.

(Chorus)

«Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?»

I picked up my bag, I went lookin’ for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin’ side by side
I said, «Hey, Carmen, come on let’s go downtown»
She said, «I gotta go but my friend can stick around»

Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)

Go down, Miss Moses, there’s nothin’ you can say
It’s just ol’ Luke and Luke’s waitin’ on the Judgment Day
«Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?»
He said, «Do me a favor, son, won’t you stay and keep Anna Lee company?»

Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)

Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said, «I will fix your rack if you’ll take Jack, my dog»
I said, «Wait a minute, Chester, you know I’m a peaceful man»
He said, «That’s okay, boy, won’t you feed him when you can»

Yeah, take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)

Catch a cannon ball now to take me down the line
My bag is sinkin’ low and I do believe it’s time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she’s the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone

Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
