Verse 1
I'm old (G major) Tom Moore
(D minor) from the bummer's (B flat major) shore,
the (C minor) good old golden days.
(C major) They (C minor) call me (G major) a bummer and (B flat major) a ginsot too,
but what cares (E flat major) I (C major) for praise?
I've rambled round (C minor) all over (F minor) town,
just (C major) like a roving (G major) sign,
and (C major) the people all say
(F minor) there goes (B flat major) Tom Moore
in the days (D minor) of 49. (C minor)
(C major) My comrades they (B flat major) all loved me well,
(D minor) that jolly (C minor) saucy crew.
A few hard cases (B flat major) I will admit,
(C major) but they were brave and true.
Whatever the pinch,
(B flat major) they ne 'er would (C major) flinch,
they never would fretner (G major) whine.
Like (C major) good old bricks
they stood the kicks
(D minor) in the days of (C major) 49.
There's old Aunt (B flat major) Jess,
that hard old cuss,
(C major) who never would repent.
He never (F minor) missed a (B flat major) single meal
nor never (E flat major) paid a (C major) cent.
But old Aunt Jess, (B flat major) like all the (C major) rest,
at death he did (G major) resign.
And (C minor) in his bloom,
he (F minor) went up the (B flat major) flume
in the days of (E flat major) 49. (C minor) (C major)
(C minor) There was New York Jake,
(C major) the butcher (B flat major) boy,
who was fond (D minor) of getting (C minor) tight.
(C major) And every (G major) time he (B flat major) got on a spree,
he was spoiling (C minor) for a fight.
(C major) One night, Jake jumped against a knife
in the hands of old (G major) Doc Sign,
(C major) and (C minor) over (G major) Jake we (B flat major) held awake
in the (E flat major) days of 49. (C minor) (C major)
(C minor) Of all the comrades (D minor) that I've
had
there's none that's (C major) left to boast
(C minor) an d I'm (G major) alone in (B flat major) my misery
like some poor (E flat major) wan dering (C minor) ghost
(C major) an d as I pass (E flat major) from (B flat major) town to (F minor) town
They (G major) call (C major) me the ram (D minor) bling sign (G major)
Since (G major) the (C major) days of old
When we (F minor) dug out the (B flat major) gold
In (D minor) the (C minor) days of (E flat major) 49 (C minor) (C major)
