Robin Hood chords by Simon Joyner

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.
