VERSE 1:
Dm F
It's almost over it's almost done
G A7
And you can't put the blame on anyone
Dm F
It's almost easy and it's almost fun
G A7
Did you get caught with your britches on
CHORUS:
Asus4 Dm
Hi derry-day in the month of May
F C
Was the song the minstrel sang
Gm Dm
To the good of Robin Hood
A7 Dm Gm
Maid Marian and all the gang
VERSE 2:
Dm F
His aim was mean and his shot was clean
G A7
And his suit was the sheen of the evergreen
Dm F
The folks he knew had naught to fear
G A7
When the sheriff was there, they were over here
CHORUS:
Asus4 Dm
Hi derry-doon in the month of June
F C
Was the song the minstrel sung
Gm Dm
To the good of Robin Hood's
A7 Dm Gm
Good name and a place to run
VERSE 3:
Dm F
He loved strong ale and a rundown jail
G A7
Was the kind of a scene where he never failed
Dm F
There was no man on the sea or land
G A7
Who could get Maid Marian on the trail
CHORUS:
Asus4 Dm
Hi derry-day in the month of May
F C
Was the song the minstrel sang

To the good of Robin Hood

Maid Marian and all the gang

VERSE 4:
Dm F
It's almost over, it's almost done
G A7
And you can't put the blame on Marion
Dm F
She almost made it to the Friar's Gate
G A7
But the old wooden bridge wouldn't elevate
CHORUS:
Asus4 Dm
Hi derry-doon in the month of June
F C
Was the song the minstrel sung
Gm Dm
To the good of Robin Hood's
