I'm the (G major)
son of the son of a sailor (E minor)
And I spend (G major) all me time on the sea (C major)
On a (G major) tall clipper ship named the (E minor) Rover
She's (G major) home to me shipmates (D major) and (G major) me
We've sailed her through (A minor) all
kinds of weather (D major)
Through (G major) waves that were
(D major) high as the (A minor) mast
And she (D major) brings us back
(A minor) safely to (D major) Ireland
To her (G major) home in the port (D major) of Belfast (G major)
