The Tinker Of Rye Tab uke di Paul Giovanni

-     F             Gm
There was a Tinker, lived of late
    Am                    Dm
Who walked the streets of Rye
   Bb            Gm6
He bore his pack upon his back
A                     Dm
Patches and Plugs did cry
    F                 G7
"Oh I have brass within my bag
   C                Am
my hammer's full of metal
     Bb           G
and as to skill I well can clout
    C             F
and mend a broken kettle

  F               Gm
A maiden did this tinker meet
    Am            Dm
And to him boldly say 
 Bb                 Gm6
"For sure my kettle hath much need
   A                 Dm
If you would pass my way"
    F               G7
She took the tinker by the hand
    C              Am
And led him to her door
     Bb             G
Said she "My kettle I will show
    C                F
And you can clout it sure"

    F            G7          C      Am
For patching and plugging is his delight
    Bb        Gm       Csus4   F
His work goes forward day and night

      F                    Gm
"Fair maid," said he "your kettle's cracked
    Am               Dm
The cause is plainly told
      Bb           Gm
There hath so many nails been drove
     A                  Dm
Mine own could not take hold"
     F              G7
Said she "It hath endured some knocks
    C              Am
And more it may, I know
      Bb                  G
I'm a sure a large, large nail would hold
      C              F
If it were struck in so"

    F            G7          C   Am
For patching and plugging is his delight
    Bb        Gm
His work goes forward
Csus4   F
Day and night
