Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

   A minorAm       DmDm      A minorAm
Good morning, young master, it's 1882
        DmDm      A minorAm
Your mother is hungry, what will you do?
     C majorC      G+G       A#A#      A minorAm
There is bread in the kitchen of the big house upstairs
           DmDm      A minorAm
But I warn you, don't take it from them
     C majorC         G+G          A#A#     A minorAm
You'll be tarred, you'll be feathered, you'll be hung like a ham
           DmDm      A minorAm
And I warn you, don't do it, young man

Verse 2:

   A minorAm     DmDm     A minorAm
Your mother is calling, she wants you by the bed
         DmDm     A minorAm
So get up, young master, go shake your sleepy head
     C majorC     G+G      A#A#     A minorAm
"Darling son, I am dying, and I leave it to you
         DmDm       A minorAm  C majorC G+G A#A# A minorAm
I'm leaving, tell me, what did I do?"
          DmDm     A minorAm
I'm dying, tell me, what did I do?"

Bridge:

FF                               A minorAm
Boy, he steals the bread, now that's enough, and heads for the door
FF                            A minorAm
Man, he hears him coming, "Boy, you won't be running no more"
A#A#                        FF
Boy, he gets arrested and the case is tested that day
A#A#                 FF         C majorC
Judge, he guilty makes him and the jailer takes him away

Verse 3:

   A minorAm       DmDm      A minorAm
Good morning, young master, it’s twenty-five to nine
           DmDm        A minorAm
They’ll be coming to get you, well, in twenty minutes time
     C majorC        G+G          A#A#     A minorAm
You’ll be drawn, you’ll be quartered, you'll be hung like a ham
          DmDm      A minorAm
And I warn you, get ready, young man
     C majorC     G+G      A#A#     A minorAm
Said the boy, “I am dying and I leave it to you
            DmDm     A minorAm
As I’m leaving, tell me what did I do?
           DmDm     A minorAm
As I’m dying, tell me what did I do?”
