The Irish Rover sheet music and tin whistle note

Recorded first by The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem and later by The Pogues And The Dubliners.  I have included the basic letter notation in separate keys, the most popular is the one in the key of D, but I also worked it out in the key of G which is the second one.

These are the easy to play letter notes. All the f notes are sharp. The CAPITAL letters are the low notes below B and all the lower case one's are the higher notes.

 A   F    D        F  G  A - d    e      f    e      c     d
 On the Fourth of Ju-ly, eighteen hundred and six

We set sail from the sweet Cove of Cork
 A   F      D  F    G  A     d    e  f   e   c   d
We were sailing a- way with a cargo of bricks
 c   B    A       B  G  F     G  E      D
For the Grand Ci-ty Hall in New York
 A     A  d   d   e   f -      e    d    e         e    c     A
Twas a wonderful craft, she was rigged fore and aft
 A   d     d    e      f     d      e  c    A
And oh, how the  wild wind drove her
 F    E       D   F   G  A        -d    e    f      e   d        G
She stood sev-er-al  blasts, she had twen-ty seven masts
 F    E     D        F    A    d  f   e    d
And they called her The Iri-sh Rov-er
