Tom: D
Em G
Robert hath a swift hand
D A
He doth gaze upon the fyrd, and he maketh a plan
Em G
He hath a jaunty cap,
D A
Perched upon his head, he is a longbowman
Em G
He did find an old bow of yew
D A
And a quiver of arrows in his father’s chest,
Em G
Wherefore I cannot say
D A
But he cometh for thee, yea he cometh for thee
[Chorus] (x2)
Em G
All ye bully-rooks with your buskin boots
D
Best ye go, best ye go
A
Outrun my bow
Em G
All ye bully-rooks with your buskin boots
D
Best ye go, best ye go
A
Faster than mine arrow
[Verse]
Em G
Father worketh all day
D A
And he cometh home late, yea he cometh home late
Em G
Mayhaps he bringeth me a gift
D A
For stew is in the pot though it doth taste of grit
Em G
I have waited e’re long
D A
Now mine eye is quick and mine arm is strong
Em G
I reason with my crooked cap
D A
And say “Thou art an artless, greasy tallow-catch.” Yea
[Chorus] (x2)
Em G
All ye bully-rooks with your buskin boots
D
Best ye go, best ye go
A
Outrun my bow
Em G
All ye bully-rooks with your buskin boots
D
Best ye go, best ye go
A
Faster than mine arrow
[Interlude]
Em G D A x2
(run run run)
Em G D A x2
(whistle)
[Chorus] (x2)
Em G
All ye bully-rooks with your buskin boots
D
Best ye go, best ye go
A
Outrun my bow
Em G
All ye bully-rooks with your buskin boots
D
Best ye go, best ye go
A
Faster than mine arrow
