[Intro]



Am Em Am E

Am Em Am E



[Verse 1]



Am                     Em

From France we get the Brandy

Am                  E

From Martinique the rum

Am        C

Sweet red Cabernet

Am              Asus2

From Italy does come

Am                    Em

But the fairest of them all, me boys

Am                  E

The one to beat the day

Am           C

's made from apples

C      Am          A

Up the mighty Saguenay



[Chorus]



A   Am

So, follow me lads

Am          Em        Am       A

‘cause this 'ain't no grog nor ale

Am       Em             Am              Asus2

One pint down you'll be swingin’ in the gale

Am         E                Am              C

Five pints buddy, you’ll be shakin' in your shoes

Am              Em          C Em Am

We're half-seas over on the Joli Rouge



[Verse 2]



Am                           Em

She's called the Dreadnought Cider

Am                     E

She's proper and she's fine

Am               C

And when the day is over

Am                         Asus2

Sure, I wish that she were mine

Am                 Em

For in the dark of winter,

Am               E

Or on a summer's eve

Am       C

One hand giveth,

Am                   A

And the other doth receive



[Chorus]



A   Am

So, follow me lads

Am          Em        Am       A

‘cause this 'ain't no grog nor ale

Am       Em             Am              Asus2

One pint down you'll be swingin’ in the gale

Am         E                Am              C

Five pints buddy, you’ll be shakin' in your shoes

Am              Em          C Em Am

We're half-seas over on the Joli Rouge



[Verse 3]



Am                 Em

So turn your sails over

Am                    E

And bring her hard to port

Am               C

Find that little star and fly

Am                Asus2

Straight into the north

Am                Em

The wild sun upon your back

Am                 E

The wind a-blowing free

Am                     C

We're rolling down the river, boys

Am             A

To old Chicoutimi



[Chorus]



A   Am

So, follow me lads

Am          Em        Am       A

‘cause this 'ain't no grog nor ale

Am       Em             Am              Asus2

One pint down you'll be swingin’ in the gale

Am         E                Am              C

Five pints buddy, you’ll be shakin' in your shoes

Am              Em          C Em Am

We're half-seas over on the Joli Rouge



[Verse 4]



Am                Em

So you can have a Magners

Am               E

And pour it over ice

Am                C

Or you can have a Strongbow

Am                       Asus2

If it's sadness that you like

Am                Em

Or join us up the river

Am                        E

And we'll set your heart aglow

Am                C

And how you'll feel when the real

Am              A

Cider starts t' flow



[Chorus]



A   Am

So, follow me lads

Am          Em        Am       A

‘cause this 'ain't no grog nor ale

Am       Em             Am              Asus2

One pint down you'll be swingin’ in the gale

Am         E                Am              C

Five pints buddy, you’ll be shakin' in your shoes

Am              Em          C Em Am

We're half-seas over on the Joli Rouge

Five pints buddy, you’ll be shakin' in your shoes

Am              Em          C Em Am

We're half-seas over on the Joli Rouge
