	  Intro: G 

Verse 
                               C       G 
Come all ye homesick fools and drifters 
             Em               D 
The hour has come to sing the truth 
          G                   C       G 
There's a time for sober introspection 
          Em      D        G 
A time to cut the wild dog loose 

Verse 
                          C     G 
Now I've got roaming disposition 
            Em               D 
A wandering eye and a raging thirst 
            G                  C      G 
It's driven me to the furthest reaches 
          Em             D       G 
To escape first love and all the hurt 

 
          C            Em 
Now I can see a map of Ireland 
                C                     Am     D 
In the dregs of bitters in this empty glass 
          G        D/F#    Em 
And I can feel her breast against me 
    C       G                   D 
The rose of Roscrae, wild Irish lass 
G     C                 Em 
I can feel her father's fist now 
      G          C                 Am     D 
As he knocks me 'cross that stable floor 
              G         D/F#    Em 
And I left my blood and tears behind me 
     C          G             D             G 
As I walked all night from Roscrae to Templemore

Verse 
                             C    G 
We sailed away and went half crazy 
                Em                   D 
On the last frontiers of the western states 
        G                 C     G 
Haunted by hearts left behind us 
                     Em      D      G 
Like the sweet young rose of old Roscrae 

Verse 
                                              C        G 
There's nothing for it, lads, but to sing the old songs 
        Em               D 
'Carrickfergus To Raglan Road' 
              G                   C      G 
So raise your harps and lift your glasses 
              Em          D       G 
Sing up those lips, we'll kiss no more 

 
          C            Em 
Now I can see a map of Ireland 
                C                     Am     D 
In the dregs of bitters in this empty glass 
          G        D/F#    Em 
And I can feel her breast against me 
    C       G                   D 
The rose of Roscrae, wild Irish lass 
    G     C                 Em 
And I can feel her father's fist now 
      G          C                 Am     D 
As he knocks me 'cross that stable floor 
              G         D/F#    Em 
And I left my blood and tears behind me 
     C          G             D             G 
As I walked all night from Roscrae to Templemore 
  C          G             D             G 
I walked all night from Roscrae to Templemore
