Steeleye Span – Gamble Gold (Guitar)

      G               C
There chanced to be a pedlar bold

  G               D
A pedlar bold, he chanced to be

   G                   Am
He rolled his pack all on his back

    C                D            C  D
And he came tripping o'er the lea

   G                 C
By chance he met two troublesome blades

G                       D
Troublesome blades they chanced to be

G               Am
One of them was Robin Hood

    C                D            C  D
The other was little John so free

Em    Bm     G         D
Gentlemen of high born blood

G      C    G/B D     G
Gamble Gold and Robin Hood

    G               C
"Oh pedlar, pedlar, what's in the pack?

     G            D
Come speedily and tell to me"

      G                    Am
"I've several suits of the gay green silk

    C                  D             C  D
And silken bow strings two of three"

    G                     C
"If you have suits of the gay green silk

    G                  D
And silken bow strings two of three

G                  Am
By my body", cries Robin Hood

 C                D            C  D
"Half your pack belongs to me"

Em    Bm     G         D
Gentlemen of high born blood

G      C    G/B D     G
Gamble Gold and Robin Hood

    G                    C
"Oh no, oh no", says the pedlar bold

 G            D
"No, that can never be

        G              Am
There's never a man in Nottingham

    C                D             C  D
Can take one half my pack from me"

     G             C
Then Robin Hood he drew his sword

        G             D
And the pedlar by his pack did stand

     G                         Am
They fought 'till the blood in streams did flow

    C                 D               C  D
And he cried, "Pedlar hold your hand"

Em    Bm     G         D
Gentlemen of high born blood

G      C    G/B D     G
Gamble Gold and Robin Hood

    G               C
"Oh pedlar, pedlar, what's thy name?

     G            D
Come speedily and tell to me"

     G                  Am
"I'm Gamble Gold of the gay green wood

     C               D             C  D
I've travelled far beyond the sea"

           G                  C
"If you're Gamble Gold of the gay green wood

G              D
Then my cousin you must be

    G            Am
Let us away to a tavern near

    C                  D        C  D
And bottles crack most merrily"
