Traditional - Henry Lee guitar chord
Henry Lee
arrangement/additional lyrics by Nick Cave
from the Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds album Murder Ballads
INTRO: Am
Am
Get down, get down, little Henry Lee
Dm
And stay all night with me
Dm
You won't find a girl in this damn world
Am
That will compare with me
CHORUS:
G
The wind did howl, and the wind did blow
C Am
La la la la la, la la la la lee
Dm Am
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
I can't get down and I won't get down
And stay all night with thee
For the girl I have in that merry green land
I love fair better than thee
CHORUS
She leaned herself against a fence
Just for a kiss or two
And with a little pen knife held in her hand
Well she plugged him thru and thru
CHORUS
Come take him by his lilly white hands
Come take him by his feet
And throw him in this deep deep well
That's more than one hundred feet
CHORUS
Lie there lie there little Henry Lee
'Til the flesh drops from your bones
For the girl you have in that merry green
Can wait forever for you to come home
CHORUS
C Am
La la la la la, la la la la lee
Dm Am
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee....
