[D] One, two, three.
[G] [D] [A]
[D] In the year of our Lord, [G] 1806, [D] we set sail from our home [A] of Cork.
[D] We were sailing away with a cargo [G] of bricks [D] for the Grand [A] City Hall [D] in New York.
We'd an elegant craft, [A] she was great Lord, and [D] oh how the wild [A] winds drove her.
[D] She had 27 masts and withstood [G] several blasts, [D] and they called her the [A] Irish [D] Rover.
We had Bob Beepke from the banks [G] of the Lee.
[D] We had Skipper from [A] County Tyrone.
[D] We had Charlie Burke, who was scared [G] stiff of work, [D] and a man [A] from Westmeath [D] called Malone.
We had Slugger O'Toole, [A] who was drunk as a [D] roof, fighting Bill Tracy [A] from Dover.
[D] And your man, Mick McCann, from the banks [G] of the Benn, [D] was the Skipper of the Irish Rover.
So,

[D] we had a million bags of the best [G] lagoons.
We [D] had two million barrels [A] of bones.
[D] We had three million sides of old blind [G] horses' hides.
[D] We had four [A] million barrels [D] of stones.
We had five million hogs, [A] six million dogs, [D] seven million [A] barrels of porter.
[D] We had eight million bales of old nanny [G] goats' tails [D] in the home of the [A] Irish [D] Rover.
[A] [D] [A] [D]
Seven years went the measles [G] broke out and [D] the ship lost [A] her way in the fog.
[Dm] [F#m] And the weight of the crew [E] was [D] reduced down [G] to two, just [D] myself and [A] the [D] captain's old dog.
The ship struck a rock, [A] Lord what a shock, [D] the whole crew turned [A] right over.
She [D] turned nine times around and the poor frog was [G]
dead.
[D] I'm the last of the Irish [A] [D] Rover.
