Chords for The Duke and The Tinker - Kate Rusby

_ As fame reports, a young Duke kept [F] a court
He's pleased himself with his forlucks and sport
He's found a poor tinker drunk on the ground
[G] In such a deep sleep he's heard [C] not a _ [Gm] sound
[G] _ _ [F] He [F] said to his men, Richard, William and [C] Ben
We'll await to meet Pallis and we'll sport with [F] him then
He was carefully carried to the Pallis, O'Grand
[Bb] None would come [C] back in all [Gm] of this [C] _
[Bb] alone
They _ [G] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] stripped him down bare and he had naught to care
[C] They washed down his [G] body, his face and [Bb] his hair
[F] With a tall nightgown of bright crimson red
[Gm] And left him to sleep [C] in the Duke's [G] golden bed
[F] In the morning one day, then admiring he lay
[C] To see the rich chamber [G] the court he gave
[F] He looked all around him and he was so amazed
[Gm] And admired how he, [G] to this honour, was _
[Bb] _ [F] raised
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] He seemed somewhat mute so he chose a rich suit
Which he straightway put on [C] without longer dispute
From a place of [Bb] convenience, the [C] Duke's good grace
_ [Gm] Observed the man [C] in every case
A fine [F] dinner was dressed both for him and his guests
[C] It was placed at [G] the table above all the rest
[F] He had wine, [G] he had brandy and soon he did snore
Been seven times drunker than ever _ before _
_ _ _ [C] And [F] the Duke did ordain his suits to repair and again
Store him to a tin curtain to ever remain _
He was carried to the side of the road
[Gm] Back once again, but [C] was found [F] alone
[Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] He slept all the night, as indeed he well might
[C] When he did awaken [D] his joy he stood [Bb] there flight
[F] For the power and glory so pleasant it seemed
He thought it to be, but to be a [Bb] golden _ _ _ dream
_ _ _ [F]
And as fame reports, the young Duke had to cause
[C] Was pleased himself, [G] it is for all arts and sport
[F] Was found to pour a tin curtain drunk on the ground
[Gm] And suit should he sleep, [Bb] he sat [F]
alongside
