The Grey Cock chords by
A. L. Lloyd
A. L. Lloyd

N/A
Verse 1
Am

I must be going, no longer staying.

The burning Thames I have to cross.
F
Dm

Oh, I must be guided without a stumble
Am

Into the arms of my dear Lash.

And when he came to his

true love's window

He knelt down gently on a stone
F

And it's through a pain,
Dm

he whispered slowly,
Am

My dear girl, are you alone?

She rose her head from her
C
Am
C

down -soft pillow,
Am

And snowy were her milk -like breasts,
F

Saying who's there, who's there
Am

at my bedroom window
Dm
Am

Disturbing me from
E
Am

middle of night's rest

Oh I'm your lover and can't discover

I pray your eyes love and let me in

For I'm fatigued from
Dm

a long night's journey,
Am
C
Am
E
Am

Besides, I'm wet into the skin.

Now this young girl rose and

put on her clothing,

She quickly let her own true love in,
F

O 'er they kissed, shook hands,
Dm

and embraced together
Am
C
Am

Till that long night was near an end

O' Willie dear, O' dearest Willie

Where is that colour you'd some time ago

Oh Mary dear, the clay has changed me,
Dm
Am

I'm but the ghost of your weird Leo.

Then oh cock, oh cock,

oh handsome cockerel,

I pray you not crow until it's day,
F

For your wings I'll make
Am

of the very first -beaten gold,
F
Am

And your comb I'll make
E
Am

of the silver cry.

But the cock it crewed,

and it crewed so fully,

It crewed three hours before it was day,

F

And before it was day,
Am

my love had to go away,

Not be the light of the moon,

nor the light of day.

Then it's Willie dear,

oh dearest Willie,

whenever shall I see you again?

When

And the fish they fly, love,

And the sea runs dry, love,
E
Am

And the rocks they melt In the heat of the sun.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
