[A] [Am]
[E] Two pretty
[D] boys were [Bm] going to [A] the school, and one [Em] evening [D] coming home,
[Em] Says William [D] to John, [Bm] now can you [F#m] throw some, or [A] can you [D] play at the [Em]
[D] volleyball, [E] or can you [D] play at [E] the ball?
Says John [D] to William, [E] I cannot throw [D] some, [E] little can [D] I play at the ball,
But [Em] if you [Bm] go down to your merry green [F#m] roofs, [A] I'll try you [D] a wrestling [Em]
fall, [D] a fall, [A] I'll try you [D] a wrestling [E]
fall.
So they went [D] down to [Bm] their merry green [D] roofs, [E] beneath [D] the spreading ball,
[Em] The little [D] pen I [Bm] fell out of [A] William's coat, [Em] gave John [D] his deadly [Em]
[D] wound, wound, [E] and gave John [D] his deadly [E] wound.
Now you [D] take off your [Bm] white [D] holland shirt, [E] and tear it [D] fagor, fagor,
And [A] you [E]
will [Bm] bind my deadly [A] wounds, that they [Em]
might [D] bleed no [Em] more,
[D] that [Em] they [D] might bleed no [E] more.
So he's [D] thin now, [Bm] he's white [D] holland shirt, and [A] he's [E] torn that [D] fagor, fagor,
[Em] And though [Bm] he's bound his [Em] deadly [F#m]
wounds, are [Em] they [D] black ten [Em] times more, [D] and more, [E] are they [D] black ten times [Em] more.

[Bm] dear, [Em] this night [D] when I go home,
[E] Tell him I'm [D] away to [E] a London [D] school, and a [Em] good [D] scholar I'll come [Em] [F#m] [G] home,
Home, [D] home, [E] a good [D] scholar I'll come [E]
home.
But what shall [D] I tell [Em] to your sister [D] dear, [E] this night when [D] I go [A]
[D] home,
[E] Tell her [D] I'm away to [E] a London [A] school, [E] and a good [D] bird's I'll bring [Em] home,
[F#m] [G] Home, home, a [E] good [D] bird's I'll [E] bring home.
But what shall [D] I tell to [Em] your sweetheart [D] dear, [E] this night [D] when I go home,
[E] Tell her [D] I'm dead, [E] and dead and [A] grey, laid under [E] grass, [D] is growing
[Em] green, green,
[F#m] [E] My glass [D] is golden [E]
green.
But what shall [D] I tell [E] to your [D] stepmother dear, [E] this night when [A] I go [D]
home,
[Em] Tell her [F#m] I'm dead, [G] and dead and grey, [D] laid, for she [E] prayed I [D] might never come [Bm] home,
[D] Home, [E] she prayed I [F#m] might never come.
