Steeleye Span – A Calling-On Song (Guitar)

     D                       C D
Good people pray heed our pe-tition

        D7                    C
Your at-tention we beg and we crave

       D          D7            C  D
And if you are in-clined for to listen

     D7          Am7           D
An a-bundance of pastime we'll have

        D                    C  D
We have come to re-late many stories

    D7                       C
Con-cerning our forefathers’ time

       D               D7             C  D
And we trust they will drive out your worries

   D7          Am7         D
Of this we are all in one mind

     D                         C  D
Many tales of the poor and the gentry

   D7                     C
Of labour and love will a-rise

          D        D7            C   D
There are no finer songs in this country

   D7          Am7           D
In Scotland or Ireland like-wise

        D                      C  D
There's one thing more need be mentioned

    D7                        C
The dances we’ll dance all in fun

   D               D7           C  D
So now that you've heard our in-tention

           D7        Am7          D
We'll play on to the beat of the drum
