Traditional Irish - Whistling Gypsy Rover Chords

[Verse 1]

G         D7         G
The Gypsy Rover came over the hill,
G                              D7
Down through the valley so sha-dy.
G                   D7            Bm          Em
He whistled and he sang 'till the greenwoods rang,
G              D7          G         
And he won the Heart of A lady.


[Chorus]

G     D7        G          
Ah-di-do, ah-di-do ah-dey,
G                   D7 
Ah-di-do, ah-di dey-di,
G                   D7            Bm          Em
He whistled and he sang 'till the greenwoods rang,
G              D7          G 
And he won the Heart of A lady.


[Verse 2]

G             D7      G
She left her father's castle gate,
G                         D7
She left her own true lo-ver,
G             D7          Bm     Em
She left her servants and her estate
G             D7     G
To follow the Gypsy Rover.


[Verse 3]

G          D7          G
Her father saddled his fastest steed,
G                       D7
Roamed the valley all o-ver,
G          D7       Bm        Em
Sought his daughter at great speed,
G                 D7    G
And the whistling Gypsy Rover.


[Verse 4]

G          D7        G
He came at last to a mansion fine,
G                     D7
Down by the river Cal-yde,
G             D7         Bm       Em
And there was music and there was wine
G              D7     G
For the Gypsy and his lady.


[Verse 5]

G         D7        G
"He's no gypsy, my father," she said,
G                               D7
"But lord of the freelands all over,
G           D7            Bm   Em
And I will stay 'till my dying day
G                  D7   G
With my whistling Gypsy Rover.
