D C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 x 2 D Am C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 They let him lie for a very long time D C Am G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Till the rains from heaven did fall D Am C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 And little Sir John sprung up his head D C Am G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 And so amazed them all C Am Am7 Am They let him stand 'til mid summer's day C D Esus4 E Esus4 E 'til he looked both pale and worn Dm Am C G Am Asus2 Am Asus And little Sir John's grown a long, long beard D C Am G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 And so become a man D C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 x 4 D Am C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 They've hired men with scythes so sharp D C Am G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 To cut him off at the knee D Am C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 They rolled him and tied him by the waist D C Am G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Serving him most barbarously C Am Am7 Am They've hired men with sharp pitch forks C D Esus4 E Esus4 E Who pricked him to the heart Dm Am C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 And the loader he has served him worse than that D C Am G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 For he's bound him to the cart D C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 x 4 D Am C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 They've wheeled him around and around in the field D C Am G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 'til they came onto a barn D Am C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 And there they made a solemn oath D C Am G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 On poor John Barleycorn C Am Am7 Am They've hired men with the crab tree sticks C D Esus4 E Esus4 E to cut him skin from bone Dm Am C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 And the miller he has served him worse than that D C Am G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 For he's ground him between two stones D C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 x 4 D Am C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 And little Sir John and the nut brown bowl D C Am G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 And he's brandy in the glass D Am C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 And little Sir John and the nut brown bowl D Am G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Proved the strongest man at last C Am Am7 Am The huntsman, he can't hunt the fox C D Esus4 E Esus4 E Nor so loudly blow his horn Dm Am C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2 And the Tinker he can't mend kettle nor pots D Am G Asus2
