[Intro]
G  D  Em  G    D  G  Em A  D

[Verse 1]
     D                  Bm
Well here we are, we're back again
D             A
Safe upon the shore
   D                 Bm      G
In Belfast town we'd like to stay
    D     A      D
And go to sea no more
      G    D    A      Bm
We'll go into a public house
    G          Em       A
And drink till we're content
        D                 G
For the lassies they will love us
Em       G     A      D
Till our money is all spent

[Chorus]
   G                D
So pass the flowin' bowl
             Em             G
Boys there's whiskey in the jar
          D                G
And we'll drink to all the lassies
Em      G     A      D
And the jolly roving tar
A D  G Em G A D

[Verse 2]
   D              Bm
Oh Johnny did you miss me
         D                    A
When the nights were long and cold
   D             Bm     G
Or did you find another love
D       A       D
In your arms to hold
     G    D          A    Bm
Says he I thought of only you
G            Em   A
While on the sea afar
        D                 G
So come up the stairs and cuddle
     Em   G     A      D
With your jolly roving tar

[Chorus]
   G                D
So pass the flowin' bowl
             Em             G
Boys there's whiskey in the jar
          D                G
And we'll drink to all the lassies
Em      G     A      D
And the jolly roving tar
A D  G Em G A D

[Verse 3]
     D               Bm
Well in each other's arms they rolled
D                 A
Till the break of day
         D               Bm       G
When the sailor rose and said farewell
  D       A     D
I must be on me way
   G         D        A      Bm
Ah don't you leave me Johnny lad
  G             Em    A
I thought you'd marry my
     D             G
Says he I can't be married
Em      G       A      D
For I'm married to the sea

[Chorus]
   G                D
So pass the flowin' bowl
             Em             G
Boys there's whiskey in the jar
          D                G
And we'll drink to all the lassies
Em      G     A      D
And the jolly roving tar
A D  G Em G A D

[Verse 4]
     D               Bm
Well come all you bonnie lasses
      D               A
And a warning take by me
    D              Bm   G
And never trust an Irishman
   D     A         D
An inch above your knee
      G         D         A       Bm
He'll tease you and he'll squeeze you
    G         Em      A
And when he's had his fun
      D                G
He'll leave you in the morning
Em     G        A    D
With a daughter or a son

[Chorus]
   G                D
So pass the flowin' bowl
             Em             G
Boys there's whiskey in the jar
          D                G
And we'll drink to all the lassies
Em      G     A      D
And the jolly roving tar

   G                D
So pass the flowin' bowl
             Em             G
Boys there's whiskey in the jar
          D                G
And we'll drink to all the lassies
Em      G     A      D
And the jolly roving tar
A D  G Em G A D
