Key: G# minor•
Verse 1
G#m
In
Nottingham
Town
Not a soul would look up
That a soul would look down
To show me the way to fair
Nottingham town
I rode a grey horse
Twas a
Romany man
Grey mane and grey tail
F#
G#m
The green stripe down her back
Grey mane and grey tail,
the green striped upper back
There was not a hair on her
that was cold black
She stood so still, she threw me to the dirt
She tore my heart, she bruised my shirt
From saddle to step, I mounted again
And on my ten toes I rode over the plain
C#m
G#m
Riding the hound s,
and marching the floor
C#m
G#m
Came a stark naked drum mer,
beating the drum
With his heels in his bosom come
B
G#m
C#m
G#m
marching along
They laughed and they smiled,
not a sound in the game
They talked for a while,
but not a word they'd say
I bought me a quote,
to write gladness away
B
G#m
And to stifle the dust from the drain on me
I sat down on a heart,
F#
G#m
hot coal, frozen stone
Ten thousand stood round me,
F#
G#m
in their tights of gold
Took my hat in my hand,
for to keep my head warm
Of ten thousand doctrine
B
G#m
that never was born
If an ox had no tail
Not a soul would look up
Not a soul would look up
Not a soul would look down
Not a soul would look up
I'm not a soul without doubt
So show me the way to fade not to melt down
