[INTRO:] G   D7/F#   G       D7/F#   G

[CHORUS:]
                   D7/F#               G
Oh, no more will I rove, no more, it's over
                   D7/F#               G
Oh, no more will I rove, no more, it's done
     C
I'll sit beneath the fiddle tree
         Am                D
With the ghost of Niel Gow next to me
G                  D7/F#          G
Listen Niel, the apprentice has begun


[VERSE 1:]
                       D7/F#            G
An old man sits at his inglenook and he wonders
                         D7/F#           G
His brother in a foreign land, he must remain
C
Deeved about the life they choose
     Am                  D
They each would wear the other one's shoes
     G               D7/F#         G
This motherland is a source of constant pain


[CHORUS:]
                   D7/F#               G
Oh, no more will I rove, no more, it's over
                   D7/F#               G
Oh, no more will I rove, no more, it's done
     C               
I'll sit beneath the fiddle tree
         Am                D
With the ghost of Niel Gow next to me
G                  D7/F#          G
Listen Niel, the apprentice has begun


[VERSE 2:]
                 D7/F#            G
Rumbling Brig, I heard your music calling
               D7/F#              G
In the outback still I heard your song
C
Feeding from a foreign field
     Am                     D
With far more fish than the Braan could yield
     G               D7/F#                G
This trip will be my last and it won't be long


[CHORUS:]
                   D7/F#               G
Oh, no more will I rove, no more, it's over
                   D7/F#               G
Oh, no more will I rove, no more, it's done
     C               
I'll sit beneath the fiddle tree
         Am                D
With the ghost of Niel Gow next to me
G                  D7/F#          G
Listen Niel, the apprentice has begun


[OUTRO:] G   D7/F#   G       D7/F#   G     C     Am   D   G   D7/F#   G

                            D7/F#               G
         Oh, no more will I rove, no more, it's over
