[Chorus]
                   E            
Oh, no more will I rove no more, 
      A
it's over
                   E            
Oh, no more will I rove no more, 
      A
it's done
     D
I'll sit beneath the fiddle tree
         Bm                E
With the ghost of Neil Gow next to 
me
A                    E

[Verse]
                        E        
An old man looks in his inglenook 
        A
and he wonders
                         E      
His brother in a foreign land he 
        A
must remain
     D
When doubt about the life he'd 
choose
     Bm                  E
They each would wear the other one's
 shoes
     A               E       
This motherland is a source of 
           A     E  A
constant pain

[Chorus]
                   E            
Oh, no more will I rove no more, 
      A
it's over
                   E            
Oh, no more will I rove no more, 
      A
it's done
     D
I'll sit beneath the fiddle tree
         Bm                E
With the ghost of Neil Gow next to 
me
A                    E

[Verse]
                         E     
All my life I have lived within 
       A
these borders
                       E         
While he has gone to retrieve the 
         A
setting sun
D
In the pitch-black Highland night
     Bm             E
He's toiling in the sunshine bright
A                E              A
Do the time while summer passes by

[Chorus]
                   E            
Oh, no more will I rove no more,

[Verse]
A                E                
Rumbling Brig, I heard your voices 
 A
calling
                E                 
In the outback, still I hear your 
A
song
D
Feeding from this foreign field
     Bm                     E
With far more fish than the burn 
could yield
     A               E         
This trip will be my last and it 
           A
won't be long

[Chorus]

Oh, no more will I rove no more,

Oh, no more will I rove no more,
