Steeleye Span – The Wee Wee Man (Guitar)

      Am            G
'Twas down by Carterhaugh Father

  C         G     Em
Between the water and the wall

Am                 G
There I met with a wee, wee man

    C          G          Em
And he was the least that ever I saw

    Am                 G
His legs were scarce a finger's length

    C         G      Em
And thick and nimble was his knee

  Am               G
Between his eyes a flee could go

  C         G         Em
Between his shoulders inches three

    C     F   C        G
His beard was long and white as a swan

    C    F   C       G
His robe was neither green nor grey

   C       F   C      G
He clapped his hands, down came the mist

       Am            G       Em
And he sank and he's fainted clean away

     Am                 G
He's lifted up a stone, six feet in height

    C        G            Em
And flung it farther than I could see

    Am                G
And though I'd been a giant born

    C         G         Em
I'd never had lifted it to my knee

 Am               G
“Wee Wee Man, but thou art strong

C       G         Em
Tell me where thy dwelling be”

      Am               G
“It's down beneath yon bonny green bower

       C        G         Em
Though you must come with me and see”

    C     F   C        G
His beard was long and white as a swan

    C    F   C       G
His robe was neither green nor grey

   C       F   C      G
He clapped his hands, down came the mist

       Am            G       Em
And he sank and he's fainted clean away

Am             G
We rode on and we sped on

  C      G         Em
Until we came to a bonny green hall

    Am                   G
The roof was made of the beaten gold

    C      G       Em
And purest crystal was the floor

           Am                G
There were pipers playing on every stair

    C      G          Em
And ladies dancing in glistering green

   Am                 G
He clapped his hands, down came the mist

        C           G       Em
And the man and the hall no more were seen

    C     F   C        G
His beard was long and white as a swan

    C    F   C       G
His robe was neither green nor grey

   C       F   C      G
He clapped his hands, down came the mist

       Am            G       Em
And he sank and he's fainted clean away

    C     F   C        G
His beard was long and white as a swan

    C    F   C       G
His robe was neither green nor grey

   C       F   C      G
He clapped his hands, down came the mist

       Am            G       Em
And he sank and he's fainted clean away
