[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G                        C/G        G
William Fitzwilliam went walking in April

G                                            D
By the green briar roses on the banks of the Thames

G                           C/G         G
When over his kerchief there came such a clamor

G                             D      G
That William Fitzwilliam took shelter within
[Chorus]
C/G                                          G
But don't lose your head to this rooting and raging

C/G                           Am          D
Don't lose your heart to the sweetness of sin

G                        C/G                     G
And don't go out wandering for the ghosts hover 'round you

G
The Howards and the Seymours

D             G
The Poles and Boleyns
[Verse 2]
G                        C/G              G
When William Fitzwilliam emerged from his arbors

G                                   D
A luminance shone such as he'd never seen

G                     C/G              G
And so on to London he lit on his skateboard

G                      D               G
To arrive in a tumult to greet the new queen
[Chorus]
C/G                                            G
But don't lose your head to this rooting and raging

C/G                            Am         D
Don't lose your heart to the sweetness of sin

G                          C/G                   G
And don't go out wandering for the ghosts hover 'round you

G
The Howards and the Seymours

D               G
The Poles and Boleyns
[Interlude] G C/G G D [Verse 3]
G                            C/G         G
As night settled earthly all clad in its sables

G                                             D
And England's fair princes were snug in their beds

G                         C/G         G
William Fitzwilliam will glide on the Humber

G                                 D          G
In star-silver sneakers above the living and dead
[Ghorus]
C/G                                          G
But don't lose your head to this rooting and raging

C/G                            Am         D
Don't lose your heart to the sweetness of sin

G                          C/G                   G
And don't go out wandering for the ghosts hover 'round you
