Wat Tyler

 E5

[Verse]
E5
You may have seen Wat Tyler
E5                       A5
When they threw him down below
        E5
And the peasant men, all twenty 
thousand of them
     G5          D5      E5
Were undone then in one blow

[Chorus]
E5      D5        C5       E5
And you may have seen them holler
        D5        C5       B5
And you may have seen them run
        E5
On that fateful day, as the old 
books say
         G5            D5      E5
That the good and the mighty won

[Verse]
E5
Up rode young King Richard
E5                     A5
With a look so sly and cold
        E5
–God is mustering his clouds on our 
behalf
    G5            D5         
To strike at your children yet 
   E5
unborn

Continues after the ad
[Chorus]
E5      D5        C5    E5
And you will remain in bondage
        D5        C5  B5
Even harsher than before
        E5
You wretches of men throughout the 
land
         G5        D5            
Who will seek equality with your 
E5
lords

[Verse]
E5
Hear then brave Wat Tyler
E5                       A5
And the preacher mad John Ball
   E5
–It is from our labour
         G5         D5     E5
That they have the wherewithal

[Chorus]
E5      D5        C5       E5
To support their pomp and splendor
             D5     C5            
While we get nothing from them at 
B5
all
        E5
But our meal of rye and water
         G5     D5    E5
And the refuse of the straw

[Interlude]
E5 E5 E5 E5
E5 E5 A5 A5
A5 E5 E5 E5
E5 E5 E5 A5
A5 A5 E5 E5

[Verse]
E5
If someone tries to tame you
 E5                      A5
And to make of you their slave
        E5
And if you have no means to get the 
better of them
         G5          D5     E5
Then at least try to misbehave

[Chorus]
E5      D5        C5       E5
And you may have seen them holler
        D5        C5       B5
And you may have seen them run
        E5
On that fateful day, as the old 
books say
         G5           D5     E5
That the good and the mighty won
E5      D5        C5       E5
And you may have seen them holler
        D5        C5       B5
And you may have seen them run
        E5
On that fateful day, as the old 
books say
         G5           D5     E5
That the good and the mighty won
