G             Bm              C                  G   
Me I'm just a poor boy, from across the far southland,

         Em            Bm                 C                D  A(7) D
And I've traveled many days to reach this place to make my sta  -  and ,

C      C/B      Am     G         F     Em       Cm
I fell in with a merry band, and drank away the hours.
[Chorus]
Em      Bm            C       G
Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on,

       Em      Bm             C      G
And my head is high, from the battle won,

Bdim7  Am  Bbdim7 Bm   Am/C C   Bdim7
Laid down my     life for  the Greenwood
[Verse 2]
    G                  Bm                 C                G
The city boys, and the country boys, they come from miles around,

     Em                Bm                C                   D  A(7) D 
To defy their king and country, save the poor folks from the ha  -  and,

       C       C/B         Am        G     F      Em     Cm
Of the thieving dukes and abbotts, and the gentry of the land.
[Chorus]
Em     Bm            C       G
Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on,

       Em      Bm             C      G
And my head is high, from the battle won,

Bdim7 Am   Bbdim7 Bm    Am/C C   Bdim7
Laid down   my   life  for  the Greenwood
[Verse 3]
G            Bm                C        G
  Sweet Maid Marion, don't you do me no wrong,

Em            Bm              C                 D  A(7) D   
  Stay on the right side, the Greenwood is your ho  -  ome,

    C      C/B            Am   G           F         Em         Cm
The dancing girls and the open fires, the wine that flows like water.
[Chorus]
Em     Bm            C       G
Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on,

       Em      Bm             C      G
And my head is high, from the battle won,

Bdim7 Am   Bbdim7 Bm    Am/C C   Bdim7      Am  C Am C 
Laid down   my   life  for  the Greenwood
