[Verse 1]
Em D Em
Come near to me and I will tell the tale of Robin Hood
D Em
And though he was a noble man was for the common good
D C
A man of the people, and a hero to us all
Em B Em
For he robbed from the rich, and he gave it to the poor
[Verse 2]
Em D Em
Now he was born a Loxley in the Shire of Nottingham
D Em
A story will begin when the boy became a man
D C
A master of the blade and bow, a horseman fine
Em B Em
With an eye for the ladies and for music, food and wine
[Chorus]
C G
Ah la la la la-da-da-da-da
B Em
Ah la la la da da-da
C G
Ah la la la la-da-da-da-da
B B/A B/G B/F# Em
With an eye for the ladies and for music, food and wine
[Verse 3]
Em D Em
To Sherwood Forest a-hunting he would go
D Em
And there with Guy of Gisbourne vie with sword and bow
D C
For everybody knew they were childhood friends
Em B Em A
But jealousy and envy would break them in the end
Em
In the end
[Verse 4]
Em D Em
So now we join Robin on his wedding day
D Em
And celebrate a union in which, he had no say
D C
To Marian his father would have him wed
Em B Em
To bring power and riches through the wedding bed
[Chorus]
C G
Ah la la la la-da-da-da-da
B Em
Ah la la la da da-da
C G
Ah la la la la-da-da-da-da
B Em
Ah la la la da da-da
C G
Ah la la la la-da-da-da-da
B B/A B/G B/F# C
To bring power and riches through the wedding bed
