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)
