Stewball chords
Joan Baez (old English folk "Skewball" of 1741)

G+G A minorAm D MajorD G+G C majorC D MajorD

               G+G         E minorEm                 A minorAm
Stewball was a good horse, he wore his head high,
                    D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD                 G+G    C majorC D MajorD
and the mane on his foretop, was fine as silk thread.

              G+G      E minorEm              A minorAm
I rode him in England, I rode him in Spain,
                D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD                G+G   C majorC D MajorD
and I never did lose, boys, I always did gain.

                G+G      E minorEm              A minorAm
So come all you gamblers, wherever you are,
                   D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD                 G+G  C majorC D MajorD
and don`t bet your money on that little grey mare.

                   G+G     E minorEm                    A minorAm
Most likely she`ll stumble, most likely she`ll fall,
                 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD                   G+G   C majorC D MajorD
but never you`ll lose, boys, on my noble Stewball.

               G+G     E minorEm              A minorAm
As they were a-riding, `bout halfway round,
                   D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD                 G+G    C majorC D MajorD
that grey mare she stumbled, and fell on the ground.

            G+G     E minorEm              A minorAm
And way out yonder, ahead of them all,
                      D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD             G+G   C majorC D MajorD
came a-prancing and a-dancing, my noble Stewball.

               G+G         E minorEm                      A minorAm
Stewball was a race horse, and by the day he was mine,
               D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD              G+G  C majorC G+G
he never drank water, he always drank wine.
