When The Boys Come Rolling Home

C G C

[Verse 1]
C                                 
I always will remember well the 
     F     C
day we went away
F              C           
Sailin’ out of Belfast in the 
   F  G
morning
    C                           
Our hopes were on tomorrow as we 
            F         C
kissed the girls farewell
        F                  C      
But our dreams were on the day of 
      G  C
our returning

[Chorus]
            F         C           
There’ll be dancin’ romancin’ and 
F     C          G
never more we’ll roam
            F                 
There’ll be rolling in the hay 
             C              Am
there’ll be whiskey in the tea
         C         G       C
When the boys come rolling home

[Verse 2]
C                                 
We safely reached the other side 
           F    C
in New York City fair
   F                 C            
In spite of wind and rain and 
   F  G
stormy weather
   C                             
We all sat down and drank a glass 
                 F     C
and wished each other well
       F                   C  
And we said we’ll all come back 
          G C
again together

There’ll be dancin’ romancin’ and 
F     C          G
never more we’ll roam
            F                 
There’ll be rolling in the hay 
             C              Am
there’ll be whiskey in the tea
         C         G       C

[Verse 3]
     C                             
Well Joe he went to Boston and Sam 
   F    C
to Buffalo
    F               C    
And Pat went out as far as 
      F   G
California
  C                                
I used to get some letters then but
          F     C
 that was long ago
         F               C        
And they always spoke of Ireland 
     G  C
and returning

[Chorus]
            F         C           
There’ll be dancin’ romancin’ and 
F     C          G
never more we’ll roam
            F                 
There’ll be rolling in the hay 
             C              Am
there’ll be whiskey in the tea
         C         G       C
When the boys come rolling home

[Verse 4]
  C                         
I must be over eighty now my 
            F     C
grandson’s by my bed
    F              C              
And here I’m in Chicago and still 
F   G
scheming
   C                               
He says he’ll take me back again to
         F     C
 rest my weary head
    F                C       
And I’ll leave him a legacy of 
  G   C
dreaming

[Chorus]
            F         C           
There’ll be dancin’ romancin’ and 
F     C          G
never more we’ll roam
            F                 
There’ll be rolling in the hay 
             C              Am
there’ll be whiskey in the tea
         C         G       C
When the boys come rolling home

[Chorus]
            F         C           
There’ll be dancin’ romancin’ and 
F     C          G
never more we’ll roam
            F                 
There’ll be rolling in the hay 
             C              Am
there’ll be whiskey in the tea
         C         G       C
