Capo: 3

Noticed there wasn't a chord version of this cracking old Irish tune The chords are super easy, but learning the words, and then singing them, without going blue in the face is another thing Don't forget to CAPO at the 3rd FRET to play along with the earlier recorded version, though I think he plays it on the 4th live these days As always any mistakes are mine, And if you, like it, use it, play it, steal it, ! please rate it ! - flatwound - THE ROCKY ROAD TO DUBLIN *** CAPO 3rd FRET ***

In the m^Amerry month of June, When f^Amirst from home I started L^Ameft the girls of Tuam, So s^Gad and broken hearted Sa^Amluted Father dear, Ki^Amssed me darlin' Mother And d^Amrank a pint of beer, Me gr^Gief and tears to smother Then ^Amoff to reap the c^Gorn, L^Ameave where I was b^Gorn ^AmCut a stout blac^Gkthorn, To ba^Gnish ghosts and go^Gblin B^Amought a pair of br^Gogues, R^Amattle over the b^Gogs Fri^Amghtened all the d^Gogs, ^GOn the rocky road to Du^Gblin

When in Mul^Amlingar that night, I r^Amested limbs so weary St^Amarted by daylight, Me spi^Grits bright and early T^Amook a drop o' pure, K^Ameep me heart from sinking T^Amhat's a paddy's cure, Whe^Gnever he's on drinking To ^Amsee the lassie's sm^Gile, Lau^Amghing all the w^Ghile ^AmAt me curious st^Gyle, Would s^Get your heart to bub^Gbling A^Amsked me I was hi^Gred, W^Amages I req^Guired ^Am I was almost ti^Gred, ^GOn the rocky road to Du^Gblin

Well in D^Amublin next arrived, I th^Amought it be a pity To ^Ambe so soon deprived, A v^Giew of that fine city T^Amhen I took a stroll, ^AmAll among the quality Me b^Amundle it was stole, ^GIn a neat locality Som^Amething crossed me m^Gind, W^Amhen I looked be^Ghind No b^Amundle could I f^Gind, U^Ampon me stick a wob^Gbling Enq^Amuiring after the ro^Ggue, They s^Amaid me Connacht br^Gouge W^Amasn't much in vo^Ggue, ^GOn the rocky road to Du^Gblin

Well, From t^Amhere I got away, Me sp^Amirits never failing La^Amnded on the quay, Just ^Gas the ship was sailing Ca^Amptain at me roared, S^Amaid that no room had he W^Amhen I jumped aboard, A ca^Gbin found for Paddy D^Amown among the p^Gigs, Pl^Amayed some hearty r^Gigs D^Amanced some hearty j^Gigs, The wa^Gter round me bub^Gblin' W^Amhen off Hol^Gyhead, I wi^Amshed meself was d^Gead Or, Be^Amtter far ins^Gtead, ^GOn the rocky road to Du^Gblin

Well, The b^Amoys of Liverpool, W^Amhen we safely landed Ca^Amlled meself a fool, I co^Guld no longer stand it B^Amlood began to boil, Te^Ammper I was losing P^Amoor ould Erins Isle, T^Ghey began abusing H^Amurrah me soul says ^GI, Shi^Amllelagh I let f^Gly Some Ga^Amlway boys were ^Gby, ^AmSaw I was a-ho^Gllerin' T^Amhen with a loud ho^Grray, They j^Amoined in the af^Gfray We qu^Amickly cleared the w^Gay, F^Gor the rocky road to Du^Gblin
