A lot of this song is just fiddles, so feel free to go ham, especially during the "Fiddle Breaks."
If you see anything that could be improved, feel free to leave a comment or even make a new version!
A5
[Frodo]
A A D A A5 There's an inn of old renown where they brew a beer so brown A D A E A Moon came rolling down the hill one Hevnsday night to drink his fill
[Frodo/Merry]
A D A E A On a three-stringed fiddle there played the Ostler's cat so fair A D A E A The hornèd cow that night was seen to dance a jig upon the green E Called by the fiddle to the middle of the muddle, D A Where the cow with a caper sent the small dog squealing E E7 Moon in a fuddle went to huddle by the griddle, E D A But he slipped in a puddle and the world went reeling A D A E Downsides went up- hey! Outsides went wide A D A E A As the fiddle played a twiddle and the moon slept till Sterrenday A D A E Upsides went west- hey! Broadsides went boom A D With a twiddle on the fiddle in the middle by the griddle A E A And the moon slept till Sterrenday
---Fiddle Break--- (This is just suggested, but feel free to go ham on these fiddle breaks!)
A A A A 1--&--2--&--3--&--4--& (Repeat 16 times)
[Frodo]
A D Dish from off the dresser pranced, A E Found a spoon and gaily danced
[Pippin]
A G Horses neighed and champed their bits, D A For the bloodshot moon had lost his wits
[Merry]
A D G Well, cow jumped over, dog barked wild A G A Moon lay prone and sweetly smiled
[Sam]
A G D G Ostler cried, "Play faster, Cat!
[All]
A E A Because we all want to dance like that
[Frodo/Pippin]
E E7 Gambol and totter till you're hotter than a hatter, E D A And you spin all akimbo like a windmill flailing E E7 Whirl with a clatter till you scatter every cotter, E D And the strings start a-pinging as the world goes sailing
[All Hobbits]
A D A E Downsides go up- hey! Outsides go wide A D You can clatter with your platter, A E A But the moon slept till Sterrenday A D A E Upsides go west- hey! Broadsides go boom A With a batter and a clatter D You can shatter every platter A E A But the moon slept till Sterrenday
