Drink Down The Moon
Steeleye Span
I have tabbed this in the key of A minor but I think the original is in F minor.
I normally play it with capo at fret 2.
Three Ammaidens a Gmilking did Amgo
Three Cmaidens a Am7milking did Ggo
And the Amwind it did blow Ghigh, and the Amwind it did blow Glow
It Amtossed their Gpetticoats to and Amfro
They Ammet with some Gyoung man they Amknow
They Cmet with some Am7young man they Gknow
And they Amboldly ask-ed Ghim, if Amhe had any Gskill
To Amcatch them a Gsmall bird or Amtwo
Oh Amyes I've a Gvery good Amskill
Oh Cyes I've a Am7very good Gskill
And it's Amcome along with Gme, to Amyonder flowering Gtree
And AmI'll catch a Gsmall bird or Amtwo
So it’Ams off to thGe green woods wenAmt they
And it's Coff to the Am7green woods wentG they
And he tAmapped at the Gbush, and the Ambird it did fly Gin
A Amlittle abGove her lily white Amknee
Her Amsparkling eyes they Gdid turn arAmound
Just as Cif she had been Am7all in a Gswoon
And she Amcried "I'Gve a bird, aAmnd a very prGetty bird
And he's Ampecking awGay at his own Amground"
Instrumental
Here's a Amhealth to the bGird in the Ambush
Here's aC health to theAm7 bird in theG bush
And we'll Amdrink up the Gsun, we'll dAmrink down thGe moon
Let the Ampeople say Glittle or Ammuch
There Amis a thorn bush in Emour cale yard
There Gis a thorn bush in our cale yard
At the Amback o'Gthorn Ambush there lays a lad and Am7lass
And they're Gbusy busy fairing at the Amcuckoo's nest
AmHi the cuckoo, ho the cuckoo, Emhi the cuckoo's nest
GHi the cuckoo, ho the cuckoo, hi the cuckoo's nest
I'd give AmanyboGdy a Amshilling and a bottle of the Am7best
That'll Grumple up the feathers in the Amcuckoo's nest
It is Amthorn and it is prickle, it is Emcompassed all around
It is Gthorn and it is prickle, and it isn't easy found
She Amsaid ?G??young man yoAmu blunder” and I said it isAm7n't true
And I Gleft her with the makings of a Amyoung cuckoo
AmHi the cuckoo, ho the cuckoo, Emhi the cuckoo's nest
GHi the cuckoo, ho the cuckoo, hi the cuckoo's nest
I'd give AmanyboGdy a Amshilling and a bottle of the Am7best
G ----- Am
That'll rumple up the feathers ^in the cuckoo's nest.
