Chords

[Verse 1]

Dm
'Twas the summer of 1353

Dm
And I sat beneath a willow tree

Dm                    C
I decided upon that day I would be

Dm
A-wooing a lady

[Verse 2]

Dm
I went to the florist and I said to she;

Dm
"I need a flower for today I will be

Dm             C
A-woo-woo-woo, a-wooing

Dm
A lady."

Dm
"I'll hold this flower beneath her nose

Dm
It should smell as sweet as a rose"

Dm                          C
"For this," she said, "I'd recommend

Dm
A rose"

Dm                            C
"For a rose-like scent I'd probably go

Dm
With a rose"

[Verse 3]

Dm
Then I went to the tailor for to buy

Dm
Some clothing of the latest style

Dm                     C
Which at that time was tights

              Dm
And pointed boots.

Dm                      C
I got the very tightest tights

Dm
And the pointiest of boots

[Verse 4]

Dm
Then I said to the hairdresser "Cut my hair"

Dm
"I'll cut it like the page boys wear

Dm                            C
Just a straight line across the brow

                              Dm
I'll get a ruler and some scissors and do it for you now

Dm                              C
It's a very hot look if you're trying

         Dm
To woo a lady"

[Verse 5]

Dm
Then I needed a horse so I went to the stables

Dm
Said, "Stable Man, would I be able

Dm                 C
To hire a horse from which

        Dm
To woo m'lady?"

Dm
"Sire, there are two things that I must see

Dm
One florin and one form of picture ID"

Dm                 C
"Alas, I have no ID on me

Dm
Who even carries ID? It's 1353"

Dm                 C
"I maketh not the rules"

Dm
Quoth he…

Dm
I had a very unflattering

C               Dm
Tapestry made of me

[Verse 6]

Dm
Then from a hilltop a lady, I did view

Dm
And I knew exactly what I must do

Dm                  C
The time had come for me

             Dm
to woo this lady

[Chorus] So I said:

Dm
"Woo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo

Dm                  C
"Woo-hoo, lady, I am wooing you

Dm
Woo-hoo, woo-ooh-hoo

C           Dm
I woo you, lady"

[Verse 7]

Dm
This lady then said unto me

Dm
"You can't woo me so easily

Dm
It takes more than going

C                    Dm
'Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh' to a lady"

Dm
But, lady, look, beneath your nose

Dm
It is a rose-scented flower which I call a rose

Dm                                 C
I have a very large horse and the tightest clothes

Dm                     C
All of these things I do to woo you

Dm
Lady

Dm
"The horse is big the tights are fun

Dm
But the hairdo's a little 1351

Dm                       C
In fact, it makes you look a little like

Dm
A lady"

[Bridgey bit]

Dm
He-Man has this very same haircut

N.C. He-Man, double masculine; He-Man!

Dm
"I'm to be married to the king

Dm
We are to be wed this coming spring

Dm                             C
If you want my heart you have to challenge him

Dm
To the thing they do

N.C. With the long pointy thing N.C. The thing where they run at one another on horseback N.C. With a very long pointy thing N.C. And puncture your lung" [Verse 8] Oooooooh

Dm
Is that the time? I should be on my way

Dm
I think I'm coming down with a little bit of the plague

Dm                              C
If it matters not to you I will just away

Dm
And claim that I wooed you anyway

Dm                               C
I'll tell all my friends in the village

                      Dm
That I wooed a lady

[Chrous]

By going
Dm            C
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo

Dm                    C
Woo-hoo, lady, I have just wooed you

Dm               C
Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo

        Dm
I wooed you… M'lady
