Verse 1
This (D major) 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
fucking (A major) punt,
I sat be (D major) side her and said I'd ride her,
but she just took the fucking hump.
And I'm a rover, seldom sober,
I'm a rover of high de (A major) gree.
It's when I'm (D major) drinking,
I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's (A major) company
(D major) I saw her CC'd into an email
We'd been sent by a mutual (A major) mate
So I wrote (D major) to her to try and woo her
Still she didn't recip (A major) roc (D major) ate
And I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover of high de (A major) gree
It's when I'm (D major) drinking,
I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's (A major) company
(D major) I went on Facebook to try and friend her
But she claimed she was being stalked
(A major) I tried to (D major) tweet her something sweeter
But I was already (A major) fucking (D major) blocked
And I'm a rover, (G major) seldom (D major) sober
I'm (G major) a (D major) rover of high de (A major) gree
It's when I'm (D major) drinkin',
I'm always drinkin'
And to gain my love's (A major) company
(D major) I got her number off her wee sister
She exchanged it for double (A major) gin
I started (D major) textin', soon I was sextin'
So her sister kicked my cunt in
(D major) And I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover of high de (A major) gree
It's when I'm (D major) drinkin'
I'm always thinkin'
How to gain my (A major) love's company
(D major) Yeah, I'm a rover, (G major) seldom (D major) sober
I'm a rover of high de (A major) gree
It's when I'm (D major) drinkin'
I'm always thinkin'
(G major) How to (D major) gain my love's (A major) company (D major)
Thanks. So this next one.
I'm A Rover
