A great christmas folk number from Kate Rusby's "Sweet Bells" album. This is brilliant for busking, and is a nice easy one for the accordion. This is a slightly simplified version, tabbed myself, but I don't promise any form of accuracy! Oh-Pa Oh-Pa rhythm. Enjoy! --- Verse 1 ---
      C              F
We've got a poor old horse,

     C                G
He's standing at your door,

    F              C       G
And if you'll only let him in,

      F                 G
He'll greet you all I'm sure,

      F         G       C
He'll greet you all I'm sure.

      F                 G
He'll greet you all I'm sure,

      F         G       C
He'll greet you all I'm sure.
--- Verse 2 ---
C                   F
Now that He's grown old

    C           G
And nature doth decay,

   F             C        G
My master frowns upon him now,

      F                    G
These words I've heard him say,

      F          G         C
These words I've heard him say.

      F                    G
These words I've heard him say,

      F          G         C
These words I've heard him say.
--- Verse 3 ---
C                   F
Now that He's grown old

    C               G
And scarcely can he crawl,

     F                 C        G
He's forced to eat the coarsest grass,

     F                 G
That grows against the wall,

      F    G           C
That grows against the wall.

     F                 G
That grows against the wall,

   F     G           C
It grows against the wall.
--- Verse 4 ---
     C                   F
This poor horse was once young,

    C               G
And in his youthful prime,

   F              C       G
My master used to ride on him,

   F                G
He thought him very fine,

   F           G    C
He thought him very fine.

   F                G
He thought him very fine,

   F           G    C
He thought him very fine.
