Verse 1:

Lord Summerisle
       F             Gm                 Am                   Dm
There was a tinker lived of late, who walked the streets of Rye
    Bb             Gm+5        A                   Dm
He bore his pack upon his back, patches and plugs did cry
       F             G7                 C              Am
"Oh, I have brass within my bag, my hammer's full of metal
    Bb                      G          C                F
And as to skill, I well can clout and mend a broken kettle"
C

Miss Rose
       F             Gm                 Am                   Dm
A maiden did this tinker meet, and to him boldly say
    Bb             Gm+5         A                   Dm
"For sure my kettle hath much need, if you will pass my way"
       F             G7                 C              Am
She took the tinker by the hand and led him to her door
    Bb                 G          C                F
Says she, "My kettle I will show, and you can clout it sure"

Chorus:
       F             G7       C      Am
For patching and plugging is his delight
   Bb           Gm     C    F
His work goes forward, day and night

Lord Summerisle
       F             Gm                 Am                   Dm
"Fair maid," says he, "your kettle's cracked, the cause is plainly told:
    Bb             Gm        A                   Dm
Thеre hath so many nails been drove mine own could not takе hold"

 Verse 4:
       F             G7                      C              Am
Says she, "It hath endured some knocks, and more it may, I know
    Bb                      G          C                F
I’m sure a large, large nail will hold if it was struck in so"

Chorus:
       F             G7       C      Am
For patching and plugging is his delight
   Bb           Gm     C        F
His work goes forward, day and night
