Chords for I Am A Youth That's Inclined To Ramble - Paul Brady

Another song off a new record, a song called I am a youth that's inclined to ramble.
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Ab] _ [Db] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
I am a youth that's inclined [Db] to ramble
_ _ [Gb] To some [Db] foreign country [Ab] I mean to [Ab] steer
I _ am loath [Db] to part from my _ friends and family
_ _ [Db] And my dear _ [Ab] sweetheart to my love dear
_ _ [Db] _ [Ab] _
But there's one of [Db] those [Ab] I do most _ admire
_ _ On her I'll [Db] think when I'm far [Ab] _
away
For [Ab] since fate's _ decreed I am resolved [Db] to part [Ab] her _
_ And try [Db] my fortune _ [Db]
in [Ab] America _ _ _ _
So farewell _ _ [Fm] darling [Ab] since I must leave you
_ I place great dependence on your constancy _
_ _ _ _ That no other [Db]
young man [Ab] may gain [Db] your faith _
_ _ Or change your mind [Ab] when I am more the same _ _ _
For although the seas they do separate _ _ us
And in between [Db] us they [Ab] do rise and fall
If [Ab] fortune favors me I'll find [Db] her Jamie
[Ab] _ _
_ _ Returning [Db] _ [Ab] homeward from America _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ Oh Jamie _ [Db] dear [Ab] do you [Db] remember _ _
_ When I sat to rent [Ab] you for [Ab] many's the hour _ _ _ _
And my young _ [Db] fancy [Ab] away [Db] was carried
_ And the bees hummed around the sunny _ opening flower
_ _ _ _ But when you're _ crossing the western _ _ ocean
_ The maid that loved you you'll never mind a bar
And you'll scarcer think upon the mace of her end
For [Ab] you'll find [Db] strange sweethearts [Ab] in _ America _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ _ Oh Mary dear _ [Ab] I don't [Db] assemble _
For to all other fair [Ab] maids I'll prove untrue
_ And _ _ if you _ [Db] think that these are false promises
_ _ I'll leave these vows as a pledge to you
That _ _ what I [Db] _
have may prove _ [Ab] unsuccessful _
_ _ And fortune prove to [Ab]
me a slippery ball
_ _ That a favoring gale it may ne'er [Db] blow on [Ab] thee
_ If I [Db]
forsake [Ab] you in _ America _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And so to conclude [Db] and [Ab] to end [Db] these verses
_ May _ God [Ab] protect this young female fair
And _ _ _ keep her from every wild _ [Db] embarrassment _
And _ [Gb] of [Ab] me darling take the greatest [Ab] care
_ For _ _ she's slow to anger [Db] and of kind _ [Ab] _ disposition
_ _ And her cheeks like roses in June do _ blow
And my nightly _ slumbers whene'er I think on her
_ I could [Db] court her vision [Ab] _
in America _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] Thank _ _ _ you, welcome, please, I'll be back
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ It's a bit like one of these [Bbm] cold capsules that releases its power like bit by bit
It's a song called The Creel
It's a song that Paul learned, it's a [Fm] Donny Gould version of a song
and [G] you probably all know the story of it
It's about a man who was trying to get off with [Bbm] this young one
and her [Ab] parents were not interested [F] in having him in the house for obvious reasons
so he came down the chimney in fact in a creel
and he was tucked up nicely in bed with the [Bbm] young one
_ when the girl's mother heard a noise
what kind of a noise it was now is I think left to discretion
but she tried to get the husband out to [G] see whether there was a man in her [Bbm] daughter's bed
and he wouldn't go so she eventually rushed out
and she caught her foot in a chamber pot
and [Fm] fell into the creel herself and got [Bbm] hauled up the chimney
so anyway _ it's a great sight at the end I'm sure
Well he makes his [G] escape anyway
and I wrote a piece [C] of music which I hadn't got a title for
which we [Bbm] put after this [Fm] and Donal came up with the title
Out the Door and Over the Wall
which I think is fairly apt under the circumstances
