(G7 g g# a bb b c)
C G7
A wandering minstrel I--a thing of shreds and patches,
C D7 G (7)
Of ballads, songs and snatches, and dreamy lullaby!
My catalogue is long, through every passion ranging,
C 7 F (Fm C)
And to your humours changing I tune my supple song!
Dm G7 C
I tune my su---pple song!
F Bb F C 7 F
Are you in sentimental mood, I'll sigh with you,
Bb + A7 (Bb+:xx0332)
O-----h, sorrow!
F Ab° F C7 F C7 F
On maiden's coldness do you brood, I'll do so, too--
Bb + A7 Dm
Oh, sorrow, sorrow!
Bb F7 Bb
I'll charm your willing ears with songs of lovers' fears,
7 F Ab°? F
While sympathetic tears, my cheeks bedew!
E° A7 Dm
Oh, sorrow, sorrow!
(F repeated, F7 repeated)
Bb
But if patriotic sentiment is wanted,
Cm
I've patriotic ballads cut and dried;
For where'er our country's banner may be planted,
F7 Bb
All other local banners are defied !
D A7
Our warriors, in serried ranks assembled,
D A7
Never quail--or they conceal it if they do--
Bb 7
|: And I shouldn't be surprised if nations trembled
Eb Bb F 7 Bb (Bb Eb Bb Ebm Bb F7 Bb: bb bb, a a, g g, a g f f, a g f f, eb d; )
Before the mighty troops, the troops of Titipu! :|
(D G)
G
And if you call for a song of the sea,
D 7 G
We'll heave the capstan round,
With a yeo heave ho, for the wind is free,
D G D G
Her anchor's a-trip and her helm's a-lee,
Em A7 D (A7 D, A7 D, G Em D)
Hurrah for the homeward bound!
(With a yeo heave ho, Hurrah for the homeward bound!)
B° E7 Am D 7
To lay aloft in a howling breeze, may tickle a landsman's taste,
G C G C G
But the happiest hour a sailor sees Is when he's down at an inland town,
D G D 7 G
With his Nancy on his knees, yeo ho! And his arm around her waist!
B° E7 Am D 7
(Then man the capstan off we go as the fiddler swings us round
G C G C G
With yeo heave-ho and a rum below, hurrah for the homeward bound
F A7
With a yeo heave-ho, and a rum below
D (7) G
Yeo-ho, heave-ho, yeo-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho, yeo-ho)
C G7
A wandering minstrel I--a thing of shreds and patches,
C 7 F (Fm)
Of ballads, songs and snatches, and dreamy lullaby!
C G C G G7 C
And dreamy lulla lullaby, lulaby!
