Verse 1
(D major) (D minor) (C major) (D major) (D minor) (B flat major) Jack (G minor) (D major) O (D minor) 'Ryan
(C major) was (D minor) (D major) as good a (C major) fid (D major) dler (D minor)
as (D major) ever (C major) fiddled on a string
He (D major) could make young (C major) women mad (D minor)
(D major) to their stu (C major) pidest fiddles (D minor) (D major)
(D minor) He could fiddle the (D major) fish
out of (C major) salt water,
(D major) Or water from (C major) a marble stone,
(D major) Or (D minor) the milk (D major) out (C major) of a
maiden's breast, (D major)
The whole (C major) baby she had
now. (D major) (D minor) (D major) (G major) (D major)
As he sat (D minor) a -fiddlin' (D major)
in (C major) a castle hall (D minor)
He's (D major) played (C major) them all, so sound asleep
(D major) Ex cepting (D minor) for the (C major) young Countess (D major)
And for (C major) love she stayed away
(D major) (D minor) (D major) (G major) (C major) (B flat major)
(D minor) First (D major) he (C major) played (D major) a (C major) slow, F (D major)
And then he played (C major) it brisk and gay
And, (D major) oh dear love, be (C major) hind her head
(D major) This (D minor) (D major) lady (C major) she did say (D minor) (C major) (G major)
(B flat major) When (D minor) the day has (D major) dawned
and (C major) the cocks have (D minor) crowned
(D major) And spread (C major) their wings so wide
It's a (D major) you may come to
my bedroom (C major) door
To (D minor) (D major) lay (C major) down by my
side (D major) (D minor) (G major) (D major)
He's a lepter, (D minor) he's (C major) a fiddle, (D minor) (C major)
in a cloth of grain
And (D major) stole out (C major) on his tip -toe,
and then (D major) he's (C major) run off (D minor)
To (C major) his own house (D major) (D minor) ,
as fast (C major) as he could (D minor) go (D major) (D minor) (D major) (G major) (D minor)
(C major) One (B flat major) (D minor) day (D major) has (C major) dawned, (D minor) (D major)
an (C major) d the cogs have crowned (D minor) (C major)
And (D major) spread (C major) their wings so wide,
it's I am
I'm fittin' (D minor) to that (C major) lady's door (D minor)
(D major) To stretch (C major) up on her side (D major) (D minor)
Lie down (D major) (D minor) an (D major) d rest,
(C major) my good master
(D major) And here's a blanket (C major) to your head
I'll (D major) awaken (C major) you (D major) in (C major) as good a time
(D minor) As (D major) (D minor) (D major) any cockerel (C major)
in the land (D major) (D minor) (D major)
When Tom (D minor) took the fiddle (D major) into (C major) his hand
(D major) He fiddled and (C major) sang for a full hour
And (D major) he played his (C major) master (D major) class to sleep
And he's off (C major) to that lady's (D major) world (D minor) (D major)
(D minor) An (B flat major) (D minor) d when he came (D major)
to (C major) that lady's (D minor) door
He's (D major) twirled (G major) so (C major) subtly at (D minor) the pin
(C major) And (D minor) the lady (D major) drew to (Dsus4)
(D major) (C major) her promise, (D minor)
(D major) rose (C major) up and let him in (D minor) . (D major) (D minor)
Well, he (D major) didn't take that lady.
That (C major) lady came (D major) to Ball (C major) stern (D major) or (C major) to bed.
But (D major) down upon her bower (G major) -floor, (C major) (D major) (D minor) (D major)
He quickly (C major) had her laid. (D major) (D minor) (D major)
(D minor) He neither (D major) kissed her when (D minor) he came, (D major)
Nor yet when (C major) from her he did go.
Oh, and (D major) in and out (D minor) of (C major) the window, (D minor)
(D major) (D minor) (D major)
the moon like (C major) a coffee glow. (D major)
(D minor) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
(C major) (G major)
Oh, (B flat major) (D minor) (D major) ragged (C major) (D major) are
your (D minor) (C major) stockings, (D major) love,
And stubble (C major) is your cheek and chin,
Untangled (D major) is that (C major) yellow hair (D major)
that I (C major) saw yester (D major) day (G major)
The (D major) (D minor) stockings belonged to
(D major) (C major) my boy Tom (D major)
They were the first (C major) that come to my hand
The (D major) wind did detangle my (C major) yellow hair (D major)
as I (C major) rode over the land. (D major) (D minor) (D major)
Tom (G major) (D major) took (D minor) his fiddle (D major) in
(D minor) to (C major) his hand, (D minor) (D major)
so saucy (C major) that he needed sing,
And (D major) then he's off to (C major) his
master's house (D major) (D minor)
As (D major) fast (C major) as he could run (D major)
(B flat major) Rise (D minor) up, (D major) rise (D minor) up, (C major) my good master
Why (D major) do you snow (C major) so loud?
Ah, (D major) there's not a cock in all (C major) this (D major) land
But has clapped (C major) his wings
on (D major) Crow (D minor) (D major) (B flat major) (D major)
(D minor) Jack Ryan's (D major) off to (D minor) that lady's house (D major)
As fast (C major) as he could run
Saying, (D major) here am (C major) I (D minor) (D major) (D minor) (C major) (D major)
Rise up (G major) (C major) and let me in (D major)
Surely (D minor) (D major) (D minor) (D major) you didn't
(D minor) leave (D major) be hind (D minor)
(D major) A bracelet or (C major) a velvet glove
Or (D major) is (D minor) it (D major) you've (D minor) (D major)
come (C major) back again (D minor)
To (D major) taste (C major) more of my (D major) love (D minor)
Jack (D major) O 'Ryan swore a (C major) bloody oath (D major)
By oak and ash (C major) and bitter thorn
Same (D major) lady (C major) I've (D major) (C major) been in
your house (D major) (Dsus4)
(D major) Since the (C major) day that I was (D major) born (D minor) (D major)
(B flat major) Oh, (D minor) (D major) then it was (D minor) your
(C major) young foot page (D major)
(D minor) that has (D major) so (C major) cruelly beguiled me
An (D major) d, woe that the (D minor) blood
of the (C major) ruffian (D minor) lad
should (D major) spring (C major) in my heart
(D major) Oh, (D minor) (D major) (D minor) (D major) Jack Ryan's
run to (C major) his (D minor) own house
(D major) St. John, (C major) me (D major) boy, come here to me
And he's hung that boy from
his own gate (Dsus4) post (D major)
As high as (C major) a willow (D major) tree
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Outro 1
oh.
(D major) (D minor) (D major) (D minor) (D major) (G major)
(D major)
(D minor) (D major) (D minor) (B flat major) (D minor)
