[Verse 1]
Down [Em]in
St.
James's there lived a lady
And she was a beauty, fine and [Bm]gay
She was de[Em]termined [Am]to live a lady
[Bm]No m[Em]an on ea[Am]rth could marry sh[Em]e
Unless it be a man of honour,
A man of honour and high de[Bm]gree.
And there [Em]they come, two [Am]loving [B]brothers,
[Em]This fair young lady [Am]for to [E]see.
An[Em]d the first of them had a
captain's commission
Belonging to our col[E]onel's [Bsus4]car
An[Em]d the other he was a
[Am]poor lieutenant
[Asus2]On board [E]of the[Em]
Tiger
Manor
[E]Boat[Em][G][C][G][Em][Bsus4]
[Em][Am][E][Em][B][Bsus4]
[E]She[Em] ordered the coac[E]hmen
[Em]four to get ready,
All to the tower four to [Bsus4]drive she[B].
[Bm]And there she'd [Em]spend
[Am]one single [E]hour,
The lions [Bm]and the ti
[B]gers four [Bsus4]to see.[E]
[Em]Lions and ti[E]gers made [Am]such [B]a roar[Em]ing
All in the den she threw [A]a f[Bm]an
Say[B]ing, [Em]which of you's a [Am]can of lady
[E]Will [Em]go and [B]re turn [Em]my fan again?
[E]I've [Em]been outspoken,
faint -hearted, captive
Lady, you're all for I can[A]'t ap[Bm]prove
Fallen and [Em]dead [Am]and cranked and in danger I[E] never[Em] will ve[B]nture
my life for [E]love[G][C][G][Em][G][Em]
[Bsus4][B][Em][Am][E][Em][B]
[E]But[G] then a s[C]purt of fog led[G] to the dunes,
[C]His [G]hoisting [Em]ring so dulled [Bsus4]an d clear,
[B]For[Bm] in tha[Em]t den,
that great [Am]den o[E]f danger
My life [Em]I will venture for [Am]you, my [Em]dear
So in that den he straightly entered
Lions and tigers, both fierce [Bm]an d grim
But he [Em]nev er sneed
[Am]any hints [E]of danger
But he [Em]looked so [B]fierce [Bm]and left a[E]gain
[G]And when they saw that
his blood was royal
Down at his [Em]feet they all [Bm]did lie
And there instead [Em]hath the
[Am]Fath 'ry gathered
[E]And s[Am]o he [Em]brou[B]ght him safe from me[E][G][Em][Bm][Em][Am]
[E][Em][B][Bm][E][Em]
