DAYS OF FORTY-NINE
19th C. American folk song
Key: Bm

-4  -4  -6*  -6*
I’m old Tom Moore 
 -6* -6*  6   5*    -3
from the bum-mer’s shore
-4 -4   -4  -4   -5  4*  -4
In the good old gold-en days
 -4   -4 -6*-6*-6* -6*
They call me a bum-mer
-6*-6* 6   5* -3
And a gin-sot too
-4   4*   -4  -5  4*   -4
But what cares I for praise
-6*-6* -8 -8 -8    8*  -8-7 -6*  6
I wan-der a-round from town to town
 -6*  -6* -8 -8  8*  -6*
Just like a rov-ing sign
-4  -4  -4  -4  -6* -6*
And the peo-ple all say
 -6*   6    5*  -3
There goes Tom Moore
-4 -4   4*  -4 -5  4*  -4
Of the days of for-ty-nine
-6*-6*  -6* -8 -8
In the days of old
-8 -8   -7  -6* -5
In the days of gold
 6  -6*  -8  -8 8*  -6*
How oft-times I re-pine
-4  -4   -4 -6* -6*
For the days of old
-6* -6*  6  6   5*  -3
When we dug up the gold
-4 -4   4*  -4 -5  4*  -4
In the days of for-ty nine

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
