It's (D major) of a British young (G major) tailor,

(D major) In a village near (A major) (B minor) to Whitby town,
fine gar (E minor) ments he'd cre (A major) ate
In a (D major) village near to Whit (B minor) by town
This (E minor) tailor once did (A major) dwell
And (D major) wo men, wine, and (G major) company
He (A major) loved exceeding (D major) well
Oh well, oh (G major) well
He loved (D major) exceeding (A major) well
Women, (D major) wine, and (G major) company
He (A major) loved exceeding (D major) well (G major) (A major) (D major) (G major)
(A major)
A (D major) village dance one (G major) New Year's Eve
this (A major) tailor did attend (D major)
I'm sure that he'd (A major) have
stayed (B minor) at home
could (E minor) he have seen the (A major) en d?
This (D major) jolly little (A major) tail (B minor) or
he'll (E minor) nev er forget that night
(A major) For nev (D major) er yet was (G major) tailor
seen
in (A major) such a sorry plight

(A major) For nev (D major) er yet was (G major) Taylor
seen
in such (A major) a sorry plight (D major) (G major) (A major) (D major) (G major)
(A major) Now the (D major) Taylor he sat drink (G major) ing
A (A major) glass or two of (D major) wine
And not being (A major) used to drink
(B minor) Well it (E minor) caused his face to (A major) shine
It (D major) caused his face to shine
(B minor) just like (E minor) the morning sun (A major)
And he (D major) swore he'd have a (G major) bonnie lass
before (A major) that night was (D major) done
Was done, was (G major) done,
before (D major) the night was (A major) done
He swore (D major) he'd have a (G major) bonnie lass
before (A major) the night was (D major) done (G major) (A major) (D major) (G major)
(A major) Then the (D major) tailor danced and (G major) sang
He had (A major) whisky, men he had (D major) taught
And the jolly little (A major) tail (B minor) or
Was the (E minor) merriest of the (A major) lot
He danced (D major) with ladies old (B minor) and young
He (E minor) swung them round and (A major) round
Till (D major) one fair maiden took (G major) his arm
And (A major) asked him to sit (D major) down
Sit down, sit (G major) down,
she (D major) asked him to sit (A major) down
One (D major) fair maiden took (G major) his arm
and she (A major) asked him to sit (D major) down (G major) (A major) (D major) (G major)
(A major) Well, she (D major) took him in her arm (G major) s
and she (A major) called him her dear (D major) honey
But as they (A major) sat a -talk (B minor) ing,
she was (E minor) thinking of his (A major) money
She was (D major) thinking of his (B minor) money
when the (E minor) tailor smiled and (A major) said

(E minor) I'll (A major) dance like a (D major) maid
A maid, a (G major) maid, I'll (D major) dance like a (A major) maid

(A major) So the (D major) tailor took his (G major) britches off
Her (A major) petticoats put on (D major)
And amid the tailor's britches
(B minor) She quickly (E minor) did ad (A major) orn
The (D major) tailor danced a dance
(B minor) While the (E minor) fiddler played a (A major) tune
Then she (D major) danced his money
