The Rose Of Roscrae
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 3rd fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse]
C G
Come all ye homesick fools and drifters
Em D
The hour has come to sing the truth
G C G
There''''s a time for sober introspection
Em D G
A time to cut the wild dog loose
[Verse]
C G
Now I''''ve got roaming disposition
Em D
A wandering eye and a raging thirst
G C G
It''''s driven me to the furthest reaches
Em D G
To escape first love and all the hurt
[Chorus]
C Em
Now I can see a map of Ireland
C Am D
In the dregs of bitters in this empty glass
G D/F# Em
And I can feel her breast against me
C G D
The rose of Roscrae, wild Irish lass
G C Em
I can feel her father''''s fist now
G C Am D
As he knocks me ''''cross that stable floor
G D/F# Em
And I left my blood and tears behind me
C G D G
As I walked all night from Roscrae to Templemore
[Instrumental]
C Em C G D G
[Verse]
C G
We sailed away and went half crazy
Em D
On the last frontiers of the western states
G C G
Haunted by hearts left behind us
Em D G
Like the sweet young rose of old Roscrae
[Verse]
C G
There''''s nothing for it, lads, but to sing the old songs
Em D
''''Carrickfergus To Raglan Road''''
G C G
So raise your harps and lift your glasses
Em D G
Sing up those lips, we''''ll kiss no more
[Chorus]
C Em
Now I can see a map of Ireland
C Am D
In the dregs of bitters in this empty glass
G D/F# Em
And I can feel her breast against me
C G D
The rose of Roscrae, wild Irish lass
G C Em
And I can feel her father''''s fist now
G C Am D
As he knocks me ''''cross that stable floor
G D/F# Em
And I left my blood and tears behind me
C G D G
As I walked all night from Roscrae to Templemore
C G D G
I walked all night from Roscrae to Templemore
[Outro]
G C Em C Am D C Em C G D G
