MISC TRADITIONAL - TRAMPS AND HAWKERS CHORDS

Tuning: E A D G B E

The lyrics are (more or less unchanged) taken from: http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/irish-folk-music/irish%20songs/Tramps%20and%20Hawkers.htm The Chords fit the version I like to play, of this song. (I'm most inspired by the Corries-version, but also by the Dubliners) I usually play it with capo somewhere around the 3rd fret.

O come ^Ga´ ye tramps and ^Amhawker-^Glads an´ gaitherers o´ ^Cbla´ That ^Gtramp the country ^Emroun´ and ^Groun´, come listen one and ^Ema´ I´ll ^Gtell tae ye a ^Emrovin´ ^Gtale, o´ sights that I hae ^Emseen Far ^Gup in^G7to the ^Amsnowy ^Gnorth, or sooth by ^CGretna ^GGreen.

I´ve ^Gseen the high Ben ^AmNevi^Gs a-towerin´ tae the ^Cmoon I´ve been ^Groun´ by Crieff an´ ^EmCallan^Gder an roun´ by Bonny ^EmDoon I´ve ^Gseen Loch Ness's ^Emsilvery ^Gtide an´ places ill tae ^Emken Far ^Gup in^G7to the ^Amstormy ^Gnorth lies Urquart´s ^Cfairy ^Gglen

Oft^Gtimes I laugh ^Amtae my^Gsel´ as I wander alang the ^Croad My ^Gtoerags round my ^Emblistered ^Gfeet, my face as broun´s a ^Emtoad Wi´ ^Glumps o´cheese and ^Emtattie-^Gscones or breid an´ braxie ^Emham Nae ^Gthinking ^G7whar´ I´m ^Amcomin´ ^Gfrae nor thinkin´ ^Cwhar I´m ^Ggang.

I've ^Gdone my share of ^Amhumpin' ^Gwi' the dockers on the ^CClyde I've ^Ghelped the Buckie ^Emtrawlers ^Ghawl the herrin' o'er the ^Emside I've ^Ghelped to build the ^Emmighty ^Gbridge that spans the Firth o' ^EmForth And wi' ^Gmony ^G7Angus ^Amfarmer's ^Grig I've plowed the ^Cbonny ^Gearth

I´m ^Ghappy in the ^Amsummer-^Gtime beneath the dark blue ^Csky Nae ^Gthinkin´ in the ^Emmornin´ ^Gwhere at nicht i´m gang to ^Emlie In ^Gbarn or byre or ^Emanyw^Ghere dossing out among the ^Emhay And ^Gif the ^G7weather ^Amtreats me ^Gright, I´m happy ^Cevery ^Gday.

Loch ^GKatrine and Loch ^AmLomo^Gnd, they´ve oft been seen by ^Cme The ^GDee, the Don, the ^EmDevr^Gon, that a´ flows tae the ^Emsea Dun^Grobin Castle, ^Emby the ^Gway, I nearly had for^Emgot And the r^Geckless ^G7stanes o´^Amcairn that ^Gmairks the hoose o´ ^CJohn o´ ^GGroat.

I´ve ^Gbeen by bonny ^AmGallo^Gwa´, an´ often roun´ Stran^Craer My ^Gbusiness leads me ^Emanyw^Ghere, I travel near an´ ^Emfar I´ve ^Ggot that rovin´ ^Emnoti^Gon I wouldna like tae ^Emloss For I^Gt´s my d^G7aily f^Amare ^Gan´ as much´ll ^Cpay my ^Gdoss.

I ^Gthink I´ll gang tae ^AmPaddy´s ^GLan´, I´m makin´ up my ^Cmind For ^GScotland´s greatly ^Emaltered ^Gnoo, I canna raise the ^Emwind But ^GI will trust in ^EmProvid^Gence, and Providence be ^Emtrue I´ll ^Gsing ^G7ye´ o´ ^AmErin´s ^GIsle when I come ^Cback to ^Gyou.
