A augmentedA Beggin' I Will Go (Thomas D'Urfey, c.1720)
E minorEm 
G+G 
D MajorD E minorEm
Of all the trades in England, Beggin' is the best,
E minorEm G+G E minorEm D MajorD
For when a beggar's tired, He can lay him down to rest.
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
And a-begging I will go, A-begging I will go.
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
And a-begging I will go, A-begging I will go.
E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm
I got a pocket for me oatmeal, And another for me rye,
E minorEm G+G E minorEm D MajorD
I got a bottle by me side, To drink when I am dry.
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
And a-begging I will go, A-begging I will go.
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
And a-begging I will go, A-begging I will go.
E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm
I got patches on me cloak, And a black patch on me knee,
E minorEm G+G E minorEm D MajorD
When you come to take me home, I'll drink as well as thee.
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
And a-begging I will go, A-begging I will go.
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
And a-begging I will go, A-begging I will go.
E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm
I got a pocket for me salt, And another for me malt,
E minorEm G+G E minorEm D MajorD
I got a pair of little crutches, You should see how I can halt.
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
And a-begging I will go, A-begging I will go.
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
And a-begging I will go, A-begging I will go.
E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm
I've been a-beggin' seven years, With me ol' wooden leg,
E minorEm G+G E minorEm D MajorD
For lame I've been, since I was born, And so I'm forced to beg.
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
And a-begging I will go, A-begging I will go.
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
And a-begging I will go, A-begging I will go.
E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm
I sleep beneath an open tree, And there I pay no rent,
E minorEm G+G E minorEm D MajorD
Providence provides for me, And I am well content.
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
And a-begging I will go, A-begging I will go.
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
And a-begging I will go, A-begging I will go.
E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm
I fear no plots against me, I live in open cell,
E minorEm G+G E minorEm D MajorD
Who would be a king then, When beggars live so well?
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
And a-begging I will go, A-begging I will go.
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
And a-begging I will go, A-begging I will go.
E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm
Of all the trades in England, Beggin' is the best,
E minorEm G+G E minorEm D MajorD
For when a beggar's tired, He can lay him down to rest.
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
And a-begging I will go, A-begging I will go.
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
And a-begging I will go, A-begging I will go.
