Be(C)hold, the (G)wanton (F)brown had (C)gone
So (C)had
the (Am)poor blind (G)harper's (Am)mare
(C)"Oh, a(G7)las", said the (F)blind har(C)per
(C)"Ever a(G)las that
(F)I came (C)here.
In (C)Scotland, I've (G)got a (F)little colt (C)foal.
In (C)England, they (Am)stole my (G)good grey
(Am)mare"
(C)"Hold you (G7)tongue", said (F)King Hen(C)ry
"And (C)all your (G)mournings, (F)let them (C)be.
(C)You
