Tom: Gm
A G A G
There’s an inn of old renown
A G A
Where they brew a beer so brown
A G A G
Moon came rolling down the hill
A G E A
One Hevnsday night to drink his fill.
A D G
On a three-stringed fiddle there
A G
Played the Ostler’s cat so fair
A D G
The hornèd Cow that night was seen
A E A
To dance a jig upon the green.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
E
Called by the fiddle to the
E
Middle of the muddle where the
A
Cow with a caper sent the
D G
Small dog squealing.
E
Moon in a fuddle went to
E
Huddle by the griddle but he
A
Slipped in a puddle and the
G D
World went reeling.
[Chorus]
A D
Downsides went up- hey!
A E
Outsides went wide.
A
As the fiddle
D
Played a twiddle
A E A
And the Moon slept till Sterrenday.
A D
Upsides went west- hey!
A E
Broadsides went boom.
A
With a twiddle on the fiddle
D
In the middle by the griddle
A E A
And the Moon slept till Sterrenday.
[Interlude]
G A G A G A G E D x2
[Verse 2]
A D G
Dish from off the dresser pranced,
A D G
Found a spoon and gaily danced.
A D G
Horses neighed and champed their bits
A G E A
For the bloodshot Moon had lost his wits.
A D G
Well, cow jumped over, Dog barked wild,
A D G
Moon lay prone and sweetly smiled.
A D G
Ostler cried, “Play faster, Cat!
A E A
Because we all want to dance like that.”
[Pre-Chorus 2]
E
Gambol and totter till you’re
E
Hotter than a hatter and you
A
Spin all akimbo
D G
Like a windmill flailing.
E
Whirl with a clatter till you
E
Scatter every cotter and the
A
Strings start a-pinging as the
G D
World goes sailing.
[Chorus 2]
A D
Downsides go up- hey!
A E
Outsides go wide.
A
You can clatter
D
With your platter
A E A
But the Moon slept till Sterrenday.
A D
Upsides go west- hey!
A E
Broadsides go boom.
A
With a batter and a clatter
D
You can shatter every platter
A N.C E A
But the Moon slept till Sterrenday.
