The Adventuring Mob Song

 The Adventring Mob song

Lyrics by Kim C. (Lady Mayumi Sorbus) 

with help from Dan D. (Baron Diamond)

A Filk of The Irish Pub song by The High Kings


Chords, original (also has Ukulele and piano) https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/the-high-kings/irish-pub-song-chords-1425775


Karaoke track of original: https://youtu.be/Razoy43Y8ME


Original: https://youtu.be/bp3UsU5pQT8 


Without Chords:
Well you're walkin’ down a wooded path, you could be nearly done

But you hear a distant calling such you know that you’re the one

Then you drop what you were doin’ as your heart begins ta throb

And before you know just where to go, you're in the Adventurin' Mob


[Chorus:]

There's been one out in Voraniss, they've had some in Chimeron

They’ve had more of them in Blackwood and the list goes on and on

So whether you sling a spell or fight you'll always have a job,

'Cause wherever you go around the Realms you'll find the Adventuring Mob


Now the plan is fairly simple and it usually works the same,

You'll have Fighters fightin’ harder than the Casters can maintain

And you know it’s the Adventurin’ Mob the minute you hear the cries,

For a couple of kids with six-foot’s will be hounding the Bad Guys.

[Chorus Repeat]

Now your Piker is a Northman, and your Shielder's from the South

And the Healer Holding Up the line just can not shut their mouth

The Archers Arrows’ all down range, the Smith is lookin’ fraught 

With the Newbies’ running Corpses, Only Mages know the Plot

[Chorus Repeat]

Now it's time for one last push, for this we all have trained

We've had our day’s full exercise and the magic item gained

So we'll have our pound of flesh then, from the one whose end is nigh

When we meet next week in battle on the fields of New Verai

[Chorus Repeat x2]

Wherever you go around the Realms you'll find the Adventuring Mob.
