Robin Hood Chords

Intro: A A C AM Well here comes a gallant Robin Hood  G AM He’s back from swingin’ through the trees  A AM He’s got silver wrapped around his fingers  C G A And gold driven deep into his teeth  D A Hey, what did you steal this morning?  DM A What did you get for free? 

D AM You know I’ve got a wife and children  E AM And I could use some of that generosity  AM C AM See I ain’t accustomed in standin’ in bread lines or getting’ my soup for free  AM C A But the want ads cost me a dollar to buy and the news it wasn’t good enough to eat  D A And I know you’re a man of honor, a real stand up guy  D A When you’re not breakin’ into people’s homes while they sleep  D AM You know how to impale and how to hold your ale  E AM And your heart goes out to folks like me  AM You want the princes purged from their palaces  C BM AM You want to spread the wealth around  AM While the criminals line up for portraits  E G A Wearing royal hand me downs  DM A DM AM Well me, I’m just a man, just a regular joe. I don’t claim to make a fantastic living  D AM I work with my hands, not with arrows and bows  E A AM And I’m not tryin’ to prove anything  D A AM So, what did you steal this evening?  DM AM What did you get for free?  DM D AM You know I’ve got a wife and children  AM EM AM G AM G AM C AM D AM And your good deeds are legendary  AM A AM I only came to you cause I lost my means  C AM And I heard you had more than your fill  AM C AM You know I’d plant me a garden, but the kids are starving  C BM A And I haven’t got the time to kill.
