Steeleye Span – Longbone (Guitar)

                             A
There was a king who built a ship

                 F#m
And sailed away

                                 A
To look for gold in the hills of Scone

E         A
Far away

                              E
The only gold in the hills of Scone

                     F#m
Is gold you'll never own

                             E
It belongs to the giant, Longbone

        A
Far away..

                        D      E  A
The only gold I've ever known

                                  D      F#m   A   F#m
It all belonged to the giant, Longbone

                                   A
His teeth are sharp, his claws are long

             F#m
So they say

                              A
His eyes are like a fire that burns

E         A
Far away

                           E
We will go to the hills of Scone

                          F#m
We'll find the giant, Longbone

                    E
We'll turn him into stone

        A
Far away..

                        D      E  A
The only gold I've ever known

                                  D
It all belonged to the giant, Longbone

    A
The only gold I've ever known

  B                        D
Belonged to the giant, Longbone

                                 A
Through the rain and through the snow

                F#m
We sailed away

                             A
To the land where only fools go

E         A
Far away

                    E
We stepped onto the shore

                      F#m
And then we heard him roar

F#m
He must have seen us

                              A
We tried to hide, we tried to run

          F#m
Run away

                                 A
He killed the crew, he threw the boat

E         A
Far away

                           E
And then he said, "We are alone

                    F#m
I am the giant, Longbone

                          E
You should have stayed at home

        A
Far away.."

                        D      E  A
The only gold I've ever known

                                  D     E  A
It all belonged to the giant, Longbone

                        D      E  A
The only gold I've ever known

                                  D     E  A
It all belonged to the giant, Longbone
