The Escape Of Old John Webb Chords by The Kingston Trio

_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ Nine men to guard [C] the British rank, [F] and five to [C] watch the town about. _ _ _
[F] Two to stand [Bb] at either hand, _ _ _ [F] and one to let Bill Tedder out. _
He had eighty [C] weight of Spanish iron [F] between his neck [C] bone and his knee.
_ _ _ [F] But Billy took Johnny up under [Bb] his knee, _ _ _ [F] and lugged him away [C] right manfully.
And Billy broke locks, and Billy broke bolts, and Billy broke all that he came to know. _ _ _ _ _
[F] Until he came to the dungeon [Bb] door, _ _ _ _ _ _ and that he broke right manfully.
_ _ So he stole them a horse [C] and a weighted ride, and boom, but they rode gallantly.
_ _ [F] Until they came to the [Bb] river bank, _ [F] to the river [C] running to wild and free.
[F] The British were coming close on their [F] heels and poo, but [C] they stood fearfully.
_ _ _ Until [F] Billy took Johnny up [Bb] on his back, _ _ _ _ [F] and carried him over in the belly.
And Billy broke [C] locks, and Billy broke bolts, and Billy broke all that [C] he came to know.
_ _ _ _ [F] Until he came to the [Bb] dungeon door, _ _ _ _ _ [F] and that he broke right manfully.

_ _ _ So they called at the inn [C] for a room to dance [Fm] and hoo, but they [C] danced merrily. _ _ _
_ [F] And the very best dancer [Bb] among them _ _ _ all, _ [F] was old John Webb who was just ten feet. _ _ _ _ _ _
