C                            G             C
When first I went a Waggoning , a waggonning did go
    C                                     G
It filled my poor old parents hearts with sorrow grief and woe
    F            C                F             G
And many are the hardships since then I've undergone
      C                            F
Sing Whoa me boys sing Whoa , ride on my boys ride on
    C             F               G          C
Who wouldnt be for all the world a Jolly Waggoner

The other two even I would be loath to do accompanied , but IF its the right one :-

      G                C       G
cho: I'm a a rover and seldom sober
                         D
I'm a rover, o' high degree;
             G             C      G
And when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
                      D    G
How to gain my love's company.

                     C          G
Though the nicht be dark as dungeon
                        D
No' a star to be seen above,
          G          C    G
I will be guided without a stumble
                      D       C
Into the airms o' my ain true love.

When we're singing Fathom the bowl, if anyone produces a guitar and tries to strum along, they're likely to be shot!
Same goes for the Holmfirth Anthem and Jolly Waggoner.
But if you reeeally want to play chords, they mostly have the 3 basic chords in very obvious places.

We 'do' Jolly waggoner as an accompanied piece in shows , as Unacc doesnt go too well for Non Folkie banqet people , and any way , I got my version from The Yetties ! LOL !!
NO Way would I do Holmfirth or fathom with accomp !
