The Little Beggarman chords by
The Moonshiners
The Moonshiners

N/A
Verse 1
G

I am a little beggar man,

a -beggin' I have been

For Therese, Garlamard,
F

and the little Isle of Green
G

And on from the Liffey down to Cebu

And I go by the name of old Johnny Dew

Of all the trade

that's goin' sure

the beggin' is the best

For when a man is tired
F

he can lay him down to rest
G

A -beggin' for his gin,

well there's nothin' left to do

But to slip around the corner

with his old rigadoo

Diddley idle diddly idle diddley

idle diddley ah

Diddley idle diddly idle diddley

idle diddley ah

Diddley idle diddly idle diddley

idle diddley ah

Diddley idle diddly idle diddley idle

I slept in the barn way down in Carrow Barn

Well the wet night come on
Em

and I slept till the dawn
G

With holes in the roof

and the rain coming through

And the cats and the rats

they were playing peek -a -boo

And who should awake

but the woman of the house

With a little white apron
F

and a curly cobalt house
G

She began to frighten and I said,

Boo!

I don't be afraid, Mum,

it's only Johnny Dew

Diddley idle diddley idle diddley
E
G

idle diddley ah

I met a little flaxen head girl one day

Good mornin' little flaxen head girl,

I did say

Good mornin' little beggar man,

and how do you do

With your rag and your bag

and your old rig you do

I'll buy you a pair of leggings

and a collar and a tie

And a nice little lady I will meet by and by

I'll buy you a pair of goggles

and a pint and a blue

And an old -fashioned

lady I will make her do

With me idle diddly idle diddly

idle diddly ah

Diddley idle diddly idle diddly
F

idle diddly ah
G

Diddley idle diddly idle diddly

idle diddly ah

Diddley idle diddly idle diddly aye hum da

It's over the road with

me pack on me back

Well it's over the road

with me great heavy sack

With hoes in me shoes

and me toes peepin' through

Singin' skinny marinka

diddly lo it's old Johnny Dew

I must be goin' to bed

for it's gettin' late at night

And the fires all are ached

and the house goes alight

And now you know the story

of me old rigadoo

So goodnight and God

be with you

from old Johnny Dew

Little yay! yay!

Little yay! Ummda!

  • 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.
