Henry Lee Tabulatur von Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds (für Baryton)

(Am)Get down, get down, little Henry Lee 
And (A7)stay all night with (Dm)me 
You won't find a girl in this damn world 
That (G)will compare with (Am)me 

Chorus: 
   And the (E)wind did howl and the (G)wind did blow 
   (C)La la la la la 
   (Am) La la la la lee 
   A (Dm)little bird lit down on He(C)nry (Am)Lee 

(Am)I can't get down and I won't get down 
And (A7)stay all night with (Dm)thee 
For the girl I have in that merry green land 
I (G)love far better than (Am)thee 

Chorus

(Am)She leaned herself against a fence 
Just (A7)for a kiss or (Dm)two 
And with a little pen-knife held in her hand 
She (G)plugged him through and (Am)through 

Chorus

(Am)Come take him by his lilly-white hands 
Come (A7)take him by his (Dm)feet 
And throw him in this deep deep well 
Which is (G)more than one hundred (Am)feet 

Chorus

(Am)Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee 
Till the (A7)flesh drops from your (Dm)bones 
For the girl you have in that merry green land 
Can wait (G)forever for you to come (Am)home 

Chorus
