G                             G7
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
C               Am                 Dm                      Am
La la la la la, la la la la lee, a little bird lit down on Henry Lee


Verse 2: (Nick)

  Am                                                            Dm
I can't get down, and I won't get down, and stay all night with thee
Dm                                                                    Am
For the girl I have in that merry green land, I love far better than thee

G                             G7
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
C               Am                 Dm                      Am
La la la la la, la la la la lee, a little bird lit down on Henry Lee


Verse 3: (Nick)

    Am                                                 Dm
She leaned herself against a fence, just for a kiss or two
Dm                                                                           Am
And with a little pen-knife held in her hand, she plugged him through and through

G                             G7
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
C               Am                 Dm                      Am
La la la la la, la la la la lee, a little bird lit down on Henry Lee


Verse 4: (PJ)

     Am                                                       Dm
Come take him by his lilly-white hands, xome take him by his feet
Dm                                                                   Am
And throw him in this deep deep well, which is more than one hundred feet

G                             G7
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
C               Am                 Dm                      Am
La la la la la, la la la la lee, a little bird lit down on Henry Lee


Verse 5: (PJ)

Am                                                                     Dm
Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee, till the flesh drops from your bones
Dm                                                                               Am
For the girl you have in that merry green land, can wait forever for you to come home

G                             G7
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
C               Am                 Dm                      Am
La la la la la, la la la la lee, a little bird lit down on Henry Lee
C               Am                 Dm                      Am
La la la la la, la la la la lee, a little bird lit down on Henry Lee
C               Am                 Dm                      Am
La la la la la, la la la la lee, a little bird lit down on Henry Lee
C               Am                 Dm                      Am
La la la la la, la la la la lee, a little bird lit down on Henry Lee
