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

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