Eli The Barrow Boy Tab uke di The Decemberists (Accordi Baritono)

Am                          C
Eli, the barrow boy Of the old town
 

Am                               C
Sells coal and marigolds  As he cries out
 
G            Am
All down the  day


Am                         C
Below the tamaracks  He is crying


Am                              C
Corn cobs and candle wax for the buying

G            Am
All down the day
 



F                                    C
Would I could afford to buy my love a fine robe


F                             Am
Made of gold and silk Arabian  thread

 
F                                      C
But she is dead and gone and lying in a pine grove
 
   G                             Am
And I must push my barrow all the day
 
    G                            Am 
And I must push my barrow all the day
 


Am                              C
Eli, the barrow boy  When they found him
 

Am                               C
Dressed all in corduroy He had drowned in

    G               Am
The river down the way

Am                           C
They laid his body down in a  churchyard
 
Am                                      C
But still when the moon is out With his  push cart
 

    G             Am
He calls down the  day
 

 

F                                      C 
Would I could afford to buy my love a fine gown
 
F                            Am
Made of gold and silk Arabian  thread


F                                     C
But I am dead and gone and lying in a church ground
 
   G                              Am
And still I push my barrow all the day
 
G                              Am
Still I push my barrow all the day”
