The Tale Of Robin Hood

Em


[Verse 1]
      Em                             D             Em
Come near to me and I will tell the tale of Robin Hood
                                   D              Em
And though he was a noble man was for the common good
                            D          C
A man of the people, and a hero to us all
        Em                           B              Em
For he robbed from the rich, and he gave it to the poor


[Verse 2]
    Em                           D              Em
Now he was born a Loxley in the Shire of Nottingham
                            D            Em
A story will begin when the boy became a man
                                  D       C
A master of the blade and bow, a horseman fine
        Em                          B               Em
With an eye for the ladies and for music, food and wine


[Chorus]
C            G
Ah la la la la-da-da-da-da
B                 Em
Ah la la la da da-da
C           G
Ah la la la la-da-da-da-da
         B                           B/A B/G B/F#   Em
With an eye for the ladies and for music, food and wine


[Verse 3]
   Em                 D               Em
To Sherwood Forest a-hunting he would go
                                D                  Em
And there with Guy of Gisbourne vie with sword and bow
                              D          C
For everybody knew they were childhood friends
     Em                      B                 Em     A
But jealousy and envy would break them in the end
       Em
In the end


[Verse 4]
   Em                D               Em
So now we join Robin on his wedding day
                         D                 Em
And celebrate a union in which, he had no say
                           D         C
To Marian his father would have him wed
          Em               B                   Em
To bring power and riches through the wedding bed


[Chorus]
C            G
Ah la la la la-da-da-da-da
B                 Em
Ah la la la da da-da
C            G
Ah la la la la-da-da-da-da
B                 Em
Ah la la la da da-da
C           G
Ah la la la la-da-da-da-da
         B                      B/A B/G B/F#   C
To bring power and riches through the wedding bed
