[C] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ [C] _
Come sit by me all you fine [Ab] [C] lords and laddies
And I'll tell you the tale [Ab] of young John [Fm] Henry
[C] He met a fair maiden _
[Ab] one bright [C] May [D] morning
As [C] he went [Cm] hunting [Ab] in Midsomer [C] County _
Pale was the skin of the Midsomer maiden _
Blue were her eyes, [Ab] as blue as [C] the sea
And on her fair head lay a garland of flowers
Sweet were the roses of [Ab] Midsomer [C] County _ _
[Ab] Young man [Gm] don't stray, [Ab] this maiden [Gm] will lead [C] you _ [Ab] away _ _
[Eb] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] She _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ brought him ale, _ she [Ab] brought [C] him supper _
Fresh eggs and live eels [Ab] for young John [C] Henry
She said, eat your fill, [Ab] and when you are [C] sated
You'll stay with me here in Midsomer County _ _
Alas, I cannot say, [Ab] said young [C] John Henry
I am bound to another, [Ab] and soon married [Fm] I'll be
[C] I thank thee for supper, [Ab] my kind and [C] fair maiden
But now I must leave here, _
[Ab] Midsomer [C] County _ _
[Ab] Young man [Gm] don't stray, [Ab] this maiden [Gm] will [D] lead you _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Fm] away
[Cm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ [D] _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Fm] _ Up _ _ _
[C] _ went the cry [Ab] of the Midsomer [C] [Fm] maiden
[C] For shame and for shame, [Ab] for you have [C] tricked me
You're bound to me now, _ and I am your lover
I swear you'll not leave here, Midsomer _ County _
Cold was the blade of the [Ab] Midsomer [C] maiden _
_ Soft was the neck of young John _ Henry
_ Warm was the blood that flowed from his body _
_ Red as the roses [Ab] of Midsomer County _
Oh young man [Gm] don't [Cm] stray, this maiden [Gm] will lead [D] you _ [Ab] _ _ [Cm] _ _
away
