[Chorus]
A E E7 A D A
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's over
A E E7 A D A
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's done
D D
I'll sit beneath the fiddle tree
Bm E
with the ghost of Niel Gow next to me
A E E7 A D A
Listen Niel, the apprentice has begun
[Interlude]
A E A A
[Verse 1]
A E E7 A D A
An old man looks at his ingle nook and he wonders
A E E7 A D A
His brother in a foreign land, he must remain
D D
Deeved about the life they choose,
Bm E
they each would wear the other one's shoes,
A E E7 A D A
this mother-land is a source of constant pain
[Chorus]
A E E7 A D A
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's over
A E E7 A D A
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's done
D D
I'll sit beneath the fiddle tree
Bm E
with the ghost of Niel Gow next to me
A E E7 A D A
Listen Niel, the apprentice has begun
[Interlude]
A E A A
[Verse 2]
A E E7 A D A
Rumbling Brig, I heard your music calling
A E E7 A D A
In the outback still I heard your song
D D
Feeding from a foreign field
Bm E
with far more fish than the Braan could yield,
A E E7 A D A
this trip will be my last and it won't be long
[Chorus]
A E E7 A D A
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's over
A E E7 A D A
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's done
D D
I'll sit beneath the fiddle tree
Bm E
with the ghost of Niel Gow next to me
A E E7 A D A
Listen Niel, the apprentice has begun
[Chorus]
A E E7 A D A
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's over
A E E7 A D A
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's done
D D
I'll sit beneath the fiddle tree
Bm E
with the ghost of Niel Gow next to me
A E E7 A D A
Listen Niel, the apprentice has begun
