I'm A Rover chords by
Aidan Moffat
Aidan Moffat

N/A
Verse 1
D

This next song is called I'm a Rover,


which is an old bothy ballad

from the North East

some of you may know.

What I like about this song is it seems like a very affectionate song,


but in the chorus the singer reveals

that he's only interested in

his object of desire,

his flame, when he's steaming.

So I thought, what would be the worst

possible way

you could try and win a lady's attention


in the modern world?

Basically, he's a bit of a pest.

Now, I'm singing from the first person here,


but it's important that

everybody understands this isn't me.

This is not a true story.

I am not singing about anything I would do

or I would ever endorse,

just so you know.

Even the language I would never use

unless I was in very close company.

Anyway...

The other night I was on the rand,

and when I clocked this wee
A

fucking punt,
D

I sat beside her and said I'd ride her,

but she just took the fucking hump.

And I'm a rover, seldom sober,
A

I'm a rover of high degree.
D

It's when I'm drinking,

I'm always thinking
A

How to gain my love's company
D

I saw her CC'd into an email
A

We'd been sent by a mutual mate
D

So I wrote to her to try and woo her
A
D

Still she didn't reciprocate

And I'm a rover, seldom sober
A

I'm a rover of high degree
D

It's when I'm drinking,

I'm always thinking
A

How to gain my love's company
D

I went on Facebook to try and friend her

But she claimed she was being stalked
A
D

I tried to tweet her something sweeter
A
D

But I was already fucking blocked
G
D

And I'm a rover, seldom sober
G
D
A

I'm a rover of high degree
D

It's when I'm drinkin',

I'm always drinkin'
A

And to gain my love's company
D

I got her number off her wee sister
A

She exchanged it for double gin
D

I started textin', soon I was sextin'

So her sister kicked my cunt in
D

And I'm a rover, seldom sober
A

I'm a rover of high degree
D

It's when I'm drinkin'

I'm always thinkin'
A

How to gain my love's company
D
G
D

Yeah, I'm a rover, seldom sober
A

I'm a rover of high degree
D

It's when I'm drinkin'

I'm always thinkin'
G
D
A
D

How to gain my love's company

Thanks. So this next one.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
