Chords for The Corries - Jock O'Braidosly

_ _ You know, there was a time _ when the penalty for poaching was death.
_ _ And a few centuries ago, there was an infamous Scottish poacher,
a young guy who went by the name of Jock O'Braidysley.
Now, his escapades were finally put a stop to
when they sent after him seven English foresters.
They caught up with him, trapped him,
and inevitably, I suppose, they did kill him.
But young Jock's consolation in death
was that he took six of the English foresters with him. _

_ _ _ Our hands for do she rhyme
Sent Johnny for [Ebm] your [Eb] medicine
To the greenwood den Gang, gang

_ _ Has _ _ ten in his kit-ben-bow
His arrows one by one
And he's a [Ebm]-watering the greenwood den

Johnny shot and the dum-dee-doo-doo-doo
And [Ab] he wounded our in the sade
[Eb] The marit came the water and the woods
The greyhounds laid our pride, our [Eb] pride

They ate so much of the venison

For he's a-watering the greenwood den
The seven foresters [Ebm] parted sea [F] to sea
[Eb] The _ foresters parted _ sea
As a-coming by morning musk
Down among young scrolls
Well there I [Ebm] spied the bonniest youth
Lying [Eb] sleeping at wing [Ebm] toward dogs, [Eb] toward dogs
Lying sleeping at wing toward dogs
Well the buttons that were upon his sleeve
[Ab] Were all the goats [Eb] he'd gird
And the two greyhounds that he lay between
Were _ dyed with blood, with blood
Their hooves were [Ebm] dyed with [Eb] blood
Then up and jumped the first _ forester
And he was caught and all [Ab] the more
[Eb] Saying if that be Joe, [B] go pray to [Eb] his knee
Unto [Ebm] him we'll draw, we'll draw
[Eb] _ Unto him [Ebm] we'll draw
Well the forest shot, but the foresters [Eb] fired
At Jody on the knee
And the second shot, but the [Ebm] foresters fired
His heart's [Eb] blood blent as he, as he
His heart's [Ebm] blood blent as _ he
Then up [Eb] jumped Jody, he heard all his sleep
And an angry man was he
Saying, you murky walking [B] me, [Eb] pay my sleep
My heart's blood blent, [Ebm] my, my
[Eb] My heart's [Ebm] blood blent, my
_ Then he's [Eb] rested his back against an oak
His head upon a stave
And he has fired the seven [Ebm] of them
He's killed them all, but ain't, but [Eb] ain't
He's killed [Ebm] them all, but ain't
He's [Eb] broken for all that one's ribs
Is him and his cover there
_ And he has [Ebm] set him upon his horse
With [Eb] a tiding sent him, him

But Jody's gibbon bow is broke
His twogry dugs are slain
And his [Ebm] body lies in [Eb] mourn
