Verse 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major)
(D major) (G major) A peasant he,
as (C major) merry as could be,
(G major) But who, and (D major) why, and (G major) when,
and where,
pray don't ask (D major) me.
But (G major) Shuman had a (C major) hunch about the (G major) lad,
And wrote a (D major) tune, a (G major) simple tune,
but not (A major) too bad.
(D major) A peasant he, a merry peasant he
And (G major) I should say that
(C major) in this peasant's day
(G major) The (C major) peasantry (D major) had (G major) every
reason (C major) to (D major) be (G major) gay
Were Schu (C major) mann's (D major) youth
alive today forsooth?
Think (G major) you that he would (C major) still contrive to be
(G major) That (D major) very pleasant (G major) merry peasant?
No, (D major) not he (G major) (A minor) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
What if this (B flat major) lad had been upset
by (C major) de tails of a na (B flat major) tional debt?
(C major) What if he'd had to pay out
stacks of sterling
to the income tax?
Would he have (D major) laughed in merry peals
if (G major) he'd had a door (C major) at his (D major) heels? (G major)
(E flat major) Would he have cuddled like a lark
when looking for (C major) a place (D major) to park? (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) Oh, (D major) (G major) (D major) (C major) a (G major) peasant he,
a (C major) merry peasant (G major) he,
(D major) he didn't have to (G major) live in 1933. (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) No writs were served at his ad (C major) dress,
(A minor) (C major) no (A minor) letters marked O (C major) .H .M .S., (G major)
No dues, no rates to leave him (C major) flat
No licenses for this and (D major) that
No (G major) high -speed motor cars to (C major) dodge
No (A major) trouble with his local (D major) lodge (B major)
(E minor) No spectre (G major) of (E flat major) the doll
To (D major) haunt this simple soul
So (G major) this lad pool (C major) many reasons had,
(G major) For laugh (D major) ing ha, and chomping oh,
and being so glad.
Yes, (G major) yes, this lad (C major) pool many reasons (G major) had,
(D major) For laughing ha, and chomping oh,
and (C major) being so glad.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha (D major) you
The Merry Peasant
