Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
Am G Am
In Nottamun Town,
G Am G Am
Not a soul would look up
G Am G Am
Not a soul would look up
G Am G Am
Not a soul would look down
G Am G Am
Not a soul would look up
G Am G Am
Not a soul would look down
G Am G Am G Am
To show me the way to fair Nottamun Town
[Verse 2]
G Am G Am
I rode a grey horse,
G Am G Am
A mule roany mare
G Am G Am
Grey mane and grey tail
G Am G Am
A green stripe down her back
G Am G Am
Grey mane and grey tail
G Am G Am
A green stripe down her back
G Am G Am
There wa'nt a hair on her be-what was coal black.
[Verse 3]
G Am G Am
She stood so still,
G Am G Am
She threw me to the dirt.
G Am G Am
She tore at my hide
G Am G Am
And bruis-ed my shirt
G Am G Am
From saddle to stirrup
G Am G Am
I mounted again
G Am G Am G Am
And on my ten toes I rode over the plain.
[Verse 4]
G Am G Am
When the king and the queen
G Am G Am
And a company more
G Am G Am
Come a-walking behind
G Am G Am
And riding before
G Am G Am
Come a stark naked drummer
G Am G Am
A-beating the drum
G Am G Am G Am
With his hands in his bosom come marching along
[Verse 5]
G Am G Am
I bought me a quart
G Am G Am
To drive gladness away
G Am G Am G Am
And to stifle the dust for it rained the whole day
[Verse 6]
G Am G Am
Sat down on a hard,
G Am G Am
Hard cold frozen stone
G Am G Am
Ten thousand around me
G Am G Am
Yet I's alone
G Am G Am
Took my hat in my hands
G Am G Am
For to keep my head warm
G Am G Am G Am
Ten thousand got drownded that never was born
