Key: Am
[Intro]
Am C F E (2x)
[Verse 1]
Am E7
In the Tower of London large as life
E7 Am
The ghost of Anne Boleyn walks, they declare
Am E7
Poor Anne Boleyn was once King Henry’s wife
E7 Am
Until he made the headsman bob her hair
Dm Am
Ah yes, he did her wrong long years ago
B7 E
And she comes up at night to tell him so.
[Chorus]
Am E7
With her head tucked underneath her arm she walks the bloody Tower
Dm Am B7 E
With her head tucked underneath her arm at the midnight hour.
[Verse 2]
Am E Am E7
She comes to haunt King Henry; she means giving him what for
Am E Am E
Gadzooks! She’s going to tell him off. She’s feeling very sore.
Dm Am F
And just in case the headsman wants to give her an encore,
E7 Am C F E
She has her head tucked underneath her arm.
[Chorus]
Am E7
With her head tucked underneath her arm she walks the bloody Tower
Dm Am B7 E
With her head tucked underneath her arm at the midnight hour.
[Verse 3]
Am E Am E7
The sentries think that it’s a football that she carries in
Am E Am E7
And when they’ve had a few they shout, “Is Navy going to win?”
Dm Am F
They think that it is Red Grange instead of poor old Anne Boleyn
E7 Am C F E
With her head tucked underneath her arm.
[Verse 4]
Am E7
Sometimes gay King Henry gives a spread
E7 Am
For all his gals and pals a ghostly crew
Am E7
The headsman carves the joint and cuts the bread
E7 Am
And in walks Anne Boleyn to queer the do.
Dm Am
She holds her head up with wild war whoop.
B7 E
And Henry cries, “Don’t drop it in the soup!”
[Chorus]
Am E7
With her head tucked underneath her arm she walks the bloody Tower
Dm Am B7 E
With her head tucked underneath her arm at the midnight hour.
[Verse 5]
Am E Am E7
One night she caught King Henry, he was in the canteen bar
Am E Am E7
Said he, “Are you Jane Seymour, Anne Boleyn, or Catherine Paar?
Dm Am F
Well! How the sweet san fairy ann do I know who you are?
Am E Am
With your head tucked underneath your arm.
