[Verse 1]
G D7 G I went into the chandler's shop some candles for to buy, A7 D I looked around the chandler's shop but no one did I spy. G A7 D7 I was disappointed and some angry words I said, G D7 G Then I heard the sound of a *Tap, Tap Tap* up above my head. G D7 G Oh, I heard the sound of a *Tap, Tap Tap* up above my head.
[Verse 2]
G D7 G Well I was slick and I was quick, and up the stairs I sped, A7 D And much to my surprise I found the chandler's wife in bed; G A7 D7 And with her was another man of most gigantic size, G D7 G And they were having a *Tap, Tap Tap* right before my eyes, G D7 G And they were having a *Tap, Tap Tap* right before my eyes,
[Verse 3]
G D7 G When the fun was over and done and the lady raised her head, A7 D7 She was quite surprised to find me standing by the bed. G A7 D7 "If you will be discreet, my lad, if you would be so kind, G D7 G I'll let you come up for some *Tap, Tap Tap* whenever you feel inclined." G D7 G I'll let you come up for some *Tap, Tap Tap* whenever you feel inclined."
[Verse 4]
G D7 G So, many a day and many a night when the chandler wasn't home, A7 D7 To get myself some candles to the chandler's shop I'd roam. G A7 D7 But nary a one she gave to me, but gave to me instead, G D7 G A little bit more of the *Tap, Tap Tap* to light my way to bed. G D7 G A little bit more of the *Tap, Tap Tap* to light my way to bed.
[Verse 5]
G D7 G So, all you married men take heed, if ever you come to town, A7 D7 If you must leave your woman alone, be sure to tie her down. G A7 D7 Or, if you would be kind to her, just sit her on the floor, G D7 G And give her so much of that *Tap, Tap Tap* she doesn't need any more G D7 G And give her so much of that *Tap, Tap Tap* she doesn't need any more
