[ Предположительная тональность: Am ] -------------------------- STEELEYE SPAN - KING HENRY -------------------------- VERSE 1 ------- Am G Let never a man wooing wend Am G E That lacketh things three, Am A store of gold, an open heart, G Am And full of charity; G And this was seen of King Henry Am E Though he lay quite alone, Am G Am E For he's taken him to a haunted hall Am G E Seven miles from the town. VERSE 2 ------- Am G He's chased the deer now him before Am G E And the doe down by the den Am Till the fattest buck in all the flock G Am King Henry he has slain. G His huntsmen followed him to the hall Am E To make them burly cheer, Am G Am E When loud the wind was heard to sound Am G E And an earthquake rocked the floor. VERSE 3 ------- Am G And darkness covered all the hall Am G E Where they sat at their meat, Am The grey dogs, yowling, left their food G Am And crept to Henry's feet. G And louder howled the rising wind Am E And burst the fastened door, Am G Am E And in there came a grisly ghost Am G E Stamping on the floor. VERSE 4 ------- Am G Her head hit the roof-tree of the house Am G E Her middle you could not span, Am Each frightened huntsmen fled the hall G Am And left the king alone, G Her teeth were like the tether stakes, Am E Her nose like club or mell, Am G Am E And nothing less she seemed to be Am G E Than a fiend that comes from hell. --------------------------- Verses 5 to 8 are all Am... --------------------------- VERSE 5 - Am ------- Some meat, some meat you King Henry, Some meat you give to me, Go kill your horse you King Henry And bring him here to me; He's gone and slain his berry brown steed Though it made his heart full sore, For she's eaten up both skin and bone, Left nothing but hide and hair. VERSE 6 - Am ------- More meat, more meat you King Henry More meat you give to me, Go kill your grey-hounds King Henry And bring them here to me; And when he's slain his good grey-hounds, It made his heart full sore, She's eaten up both skin and bone, Left nothing but hide and hair. VERSE 7 - Am ------- More meat, more meat you King Henry, More meat you give to me, Go fell your goss-hawks King Henry And bring them here to me; And when he's slain his gay goss-hawks, It made his heart full sore, She's eaten them up both skin and bone, Left nothing but feathers bare. VERSE 8 - Am ------- Some drink, some drink now King Henry, Some drink you give to me, Oh you sew up your horse's hide And bring in a drink to me; And he's sewn up the bloody hide, And a pipe of wine put in, And she's drank up all in one draught Left never a drop therein. VERSE 9 ------- Am G A bed, a bed now King Henry, Am G E A bed you'll make for me, Am Oh you must pull the heather green G Am And make it soft for me; G And pulled has he the heather green Am G E And made for her a bed, Am G Am E And taken has he his gay mantle Am G E And o'er it he has spread. VERSE 10 -------- Am G Take off your clothes now King Henry Am G E And lie down by my side, Am Now swear, now swear you King Henry G Am To take me for your bride. G Oh God forbid, says King Henry, Am G E That ever the like betide, Am G Am E That ever a fiend that comes from hell Am G E Should stretch down by my side. VERSE 11 -------- Am G When the night was gone and the day was come Am G E And the sun shone through the hall, Am The fairest lady that ever was seen G Am Lay between him and the wall. G I've met with many a gentle knight Am G E That gave me such a fill, Am G Am E But never before with a courteous knight Am G E That gave me all my will.
