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.
