Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I have been a rover,

I have walked alone.

Hiked a hundred highways,

[G/f#]

never found a home.

Still in all I'm happy,

the reason is, you see

Once in a while along the way,

Love's been good to me.

There was a girl in Denver,

[G/f#]

before the summer storms.

Oh, her eyes were tender,

oh, her arms were warm.

[G/f#]

And she could smile away the thunder,

Kiss away the rain,

And even though she's gone away,

you won't hear me complain

I have been a rover....

There was a girl in Portland,

[G/f#]

before the winter chill.

We used to go a'courtin'

Along October hill.

[G/f#]

And she could laugh away the dark clouds,

cry away the snow,

it seems like only yesterday

as down the road I go.

I have been a rover... (To end)
