A  E   A

                   E                  A
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's over
                   E                  A
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's done
     D
I'll sit beneath the fiddle tree
         Bm                E
With the ghost of Neil Gow next to me
A                    E              A     E  A
Listen, Neil, your apprentice has begun

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

                   E                  A
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's over
                   E                  A
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's done
     D
I'll sit beneath the fiddle tree
         Bm                E
With the ghost of Neil Gow next to me
A                    E              A     E  A
Listen, Neil, your apprentice has begun

                         E            A
All my life I have lived within these borders
                       E                  A
While he has gone to retrieve the 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

                   E                  A
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's over
                   E                  A
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's done

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

                   E                  A
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's over
                   E                  A
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's done

Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's over
                   E                  A
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it's done

I'll sit beneath the fiddle tree

A                    E              A
Listen, Neil, your apprentice has begun
