_ _ 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.

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

And nothing less she seemed to be than a fiend that comes [Gb] from _ [D] hell _
