*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS*****
Barbara Dickson - Steamboat Row
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] Dm C F G Dm G C G
[VERSE 1:]
D
My daddy was a miner
C
Said that there was nothing finer
G C D
Than an Irishman who worked an honest day
From Steamboat Row, in rain or shine
C
He'd make his way down into the mine
G C
Along the dusty road he'd travel
[CHORUS:]
Dm
Fifteen miles to get there
C F
Fifteen miles to go
G Dm
Fifteen miles back home again
G C G
Home to Steamboat Row
[VERSE 2:]
D
He loved to talk about the time
C
That he got hurt down in the mine
G C D
He said he'd never go back down again
But in his heart he knew he would
C
He did the only thing he could
G C
And he kept on walking down the road
[CHORUS:]
Dm
Fifteen miles to get there
C F
Fifteen miles to go
G Dm
Fifteen miles back home again
G C G
Home to Steamboat Row
[INTERLUDE:]
Dm
La la la, laa la-la
C F
La la la
G Dm
La la la, la la la
G C G
La la la, la la la
[VERSE 3:]
D
But when he took to drinking
C
We knew that he was thinking
G C D
That his days were quickly coming to an end
He'd only speak of Steamboat Row
C
He said someday we'd have to go
G C
And to walk along the dusty road
[CHORUS:]
Dm
Fifteen miles to get there
C F
Fifteen miles to go
G Dm
Fifteen miles back home again
G C G
Home to Steamboat Row
[VERSE 4:]
