As I Roved Out - Andy Irvine chords
Start Jamming...
This is a song, very much a favourite song of mine.
It's a song I recorded with Clancy a long time ago.
[Gm] I learned it from a great, really great singer called Bridget Tunney,
who came from Balik in County Fermanagh,
which is the county I live in myself right now.
[N] She was recorded in 1952 when she was quite old,
but she was still a great singer.
As I was saying this afternoon, it's one of those situations
where you really wish that disc cutters or tape recorders
had been invented in some other scenario.
[G]
But anyway, this song is called As I Wrote Out.
