[G]I a[A]m a[D] ramblin'
[G]Irish[A]man
In
[D]Ul ster I was [G]born
[A]And [D]many's the happy [G]hours I [A]spent
On the [D]banks of
Sweet
Lock[G]eran
[D]But to live [G]poor I [D]could not en[A]dure
As [D]others [G]of my [D]station
[A]To
[D]America [G]I s[D]ailed away
[A]And [E]left this
[F#m]Irish na[G]tion
[A]Rai tan[D]te nana, tan[G]te nana
[A]Rai tan[D]te nana nan[G]di
[D]The night before I wen[G]t awa[A]y
I [D]spent it [A]with my [G]darling
[A]From [D]three o 'clock in the [G]afternoon
[A]Till the [D]break of [A]day the next [G]morning
[D]But when that [G]we were [D]go ing to [A]part
We [D]linked in each [G]other's [D]arms
[A]You may [D]be [G]sure and [D]very sure
[A]It wou[E]nded bot[F#m]h our char[G]ms[A]

[D]The very first night I [G]slept on [A]board,
I [D]dreamed about my
[G]Nancy
[A]I d[D]reamed I held her i[G]n my a[A]rms,
and [D]well she pleased my [G]fancy
[D]But when I [G]woke out [D]of my [A]dream
And [D]found my [G]bosom [D]empty[A]
You may [D]be [G]sure and [D]very sure
[A]That I lay[F#m] discontente[G]d

[D]When we arrived at the oth[G]er side
[A]We wer[D]e both stout and hea[G]lthy
[A]We [D]dropped our anchor [G]in the [A]bay
Going [D]down to
Philadelphi[G]a
[D]So let every [G]lass link [D]with her [A]lad,
Blue jack[D]ets an[G]d white t[D]rousers.
[A]And let eve[D]ry lad[G] link wit[D]h his las[A]s,
Blue [Em]petticoats [F#m]and white fl[G]ounces.
