Chord/Tab song: Poor Will and the Jolly Hangman

Won?t you [E]rise for the [Bm]hangman, his [D]pleasure is [A]that you should [E]rise
He?s the judge and the [Bm]jury at the [D]jester?s as[E]size[Bm][A][D][E]
Poor Will on the [Bm]gallows tree [D]never a [A]cruel word did [E]say
Oh that a [Bm]young man should be [D]treated this [E]way[Bm][A][D][E]

Chorus:
[F#m]Run to me [F#]mother of [Bm]anyone?s child and [F#m]tell me the [A]revelry [E]planned
[F#m]Judges and [F#]barristers, [Bm]clerks at the law, his [F#m]show is the [A]best in the [E]land
[F#m]Here?s a toast to the [A]Jolly Han[E]gman, he?ll [F#m]hang you the [A]best that he [E]can
[F#m]Here?s a toast to the [A]Jolly

Instrumental: Em D C Bm A G F#m G#m A F#m G#m A Bm

No purse for a champion, no true love come over the stile
The debt of a poor man, he?ll pay in awhile
Poor ladies, poor gentleman, born of a sorry degree
Will you laugh for the hangman when he comes for his fee?

Chorus
