  Subject: CRD Oysterband's "Rambling Irishman"

  

  Here's an attempt at the Oysterband's arrangement of "Rambling

  Irishman".  I believe the chords are right, but I may have the

  tuning off.  They stay mostly with the bass strings and mostly use

  downstrokes.  I have no idea what the language the chorus is in or

  what it means - any help is appreciated.  Very cool song though.

  

  Tuning low to high -  DADGBD

  

  Chords  D  000230

          A  x02220

          G  5x0030

          Bm x24430

  

  Long instrumental intro not done.

  

  D               G    D

  I am a rambling Irishman

  

            G     D    A

  In Ulster I was born

  

      D          G       D

  And many happy hours I spent

  

                  G           A   D

  On the banks of sweet Lough Erin

  

  D           G            D         A

  But to live poor I could not endure

  

     D     G     A      D

  As other of my station

  

  D    G         D    A

  To America I sailed away

  

      Bm                G    A

  And left this Irish nation

  

  *chorus*

     D             G         D

  Ry tan tin-a-na, tan tin-a-na

  

     D         G     D  A

  Ry tan tin-a-noora nandy

  

     D             G         D

  Ry tan tin-a-na, tan tin-a-na

  

     D         G     A  D

  Ry tan tin-a-noora nandy

  

  *all other verses same*

  

  The night before I went away

  I spent it with my darling

  From 3 oclock in the afternoon

  Till the break of day next morning

  But when that we were going to part

  we lay in each others arms

  You maybe sure very sure

  It wounded both our charms

  

  *chorus*

  

  The very first night I slept on board

  I dreamt about my Nancy

  I dreamt I held her in my arms 

  And she pleased well my fancy

  But when I woke out of my dream

  I found my bed was eimpty

  You maybe sure, very sure

  That I lay discontented

  

  *chorus*

  

  Wehn we arrived on the other side

  We were both stout and healthy

  We dropped our anchor in the bay

  Going down to Philadelphia

  But to live poor I could not endure

  As others of my station

  To American I sailed away

  And left this Irish nation

  

  *chorus*
