The Old Man Chords by Kate Rusby

The Old Man chords by Kate Rusby

Guitar chords with lyrics

Quick and dirty chords since I haven't found them anywhere else.
Pinkie on 3rd fret of high E string for C chords as needed/wanted.
Don't be lazy on the G. 3rd fret both high strings.
Didn't do the entire song, but this will get you through it.
Judging by the live performances looks like a lot of capo on 3rd fret but this is standard.
Happy playing,

       C                   F
There was an old man who lived in a wood
    C               G
As you can plainly see
    C                        F
He said he could do as much work in a day
        C       G         C
As his wife could do in three
     C
With all my heart the woman she said
    C                     G
If that?s what you will allow
    C                   F
Tomorrow you'll stay at home in my stead
    C    G            C
And I'll go drive the plow

C                 F
But you must milk our Tidy the cow
C                 G
For fear she will go dry
C                 F
You must feed the littlest pigs
C         G       C
That are within the sty
C
And you must mind the speckled hen
C                    G
For fear she'll lay away
C                               F
And then you must reel the spool of yarn
C       G       C
That I spun yesterday


C                               F
The woman she took up her staff in her hand
Am                      G
And she went to drive the plow
C                       F
The old man took up a pail in his hand
C           G           C
And he went to milk the cow
Em              F
But Tidy hinched and Tidy flinched
C               G
And Tidy broke his nose
C                               F
And Tidy she gave to him such a big blow
C         G              Am
