Chords for Heather Alexander - King Henry

_ _ This tune, this tune is about one of the eight, but I suspect not the eighth because, well, he was kind of, he was kind of crummy.
And this particular version of King Henry isn't crummy.
He's a nice King Henry, so it couldn't have been the eighth one.
But it's one of the other ones.
And it's an old traditional tune.
It's a child ballad, actually.
_ And it's, um, it's about an evening that he spends with a very queer, odd companion.

never [A] a man a wooing wind who lacketh [D] things of three
A store of gold, [E] an open heart, and [D] full of charity
[F] This was said of King Henry as he lay [A] quite alone
For he's taken him to a haunted [E] hall seven miles [A] from the town
_ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Oh, he [A] has driven him dear before the doe [Dm] down by the glen
To the fattest buck in all the flock King Henry he has slain
His huntsmen followed him to [E] the hall to make them burly [C] cheer
When loud [Gm] the wind was heard to howl and an earthquake [E] rocked the floor
[D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ As darkness [A] covered all the [Dm] hall when they [D] sat and thinned
The [E] greyhounds yelling left their food and crumpled to Henry's feet
[F] And louder howled the [E] rising wind that burst the fastened [D] door
And in there [Gm] came a grisly ghost stamping [A] across the floor
_ _ _ [D] Her head [A] hit the rooftop of the house, a middle [D] yet could not span
Each frightened [E]
huntsman fled the hall and left [D] the King alone
[E] Her teeth were like the tethered stakes, her nose a clobber mail
And nothing less she seemed to be than a fiend that comes [Gb] from _ [D] hell _

[D] Go kill your goshawks, King Henry, and bring some meat to me

For she's eaten them up, all skin and bone, left nothing but feathers _ [D] bare _ _ _ _ _ _
_ A drink, [G] a drink, yeah, King [E] Henry, a drink, [A] yeah, bring to [D] me
So up your horse, hi, King Henry, and bring some drink to me
He has sung a bloody hide, a pipe of wine [Dm] put in
And [E] she's drank it down, all in one drop, let never a [A] drop bear _ [D] in _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ A bed, a bed, yeah, King Henry, a bed, yeah, make for me
Oh, you must pull the heather green and make it soft for me
He has pulled the heather green and [A] made for her a bed
[E] And taken has he his good mantle and over [A] it he has spread
[D] Take _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
off your [Ab] clothes now, King [D] Henry, _ _ and lay down [A] by my side
[D] Oh, swear, [A] oh, swear you, King Henry, _ [Gm] to take me [Am] as your [D] bride
God forbid, says [E] King Henry, [Bb] that ever the like [Ab] be tied
[D] That [E] ever a fiend that comes from hell should stretch down by my _ _ side _ _ _ _

Darkest Hour
The dark is gone, [Gm] the day has come, the [C] sunlight [A] fills the hall
The fairest lady that [Bb] ever was [Ab] seen lay twixt him [A] and the wall
[Dm] I've laid for me a gentle knight that gave me such [C] a _ thrill
[Dm] Ah, but never [A] before with a perfect knight [D] that [E] gave [Em] me all [D] my weary _ _ _ _
