Burford Stomp
=============

Written by Rev Hammer, from his own "Freeborn John" LP, and "Too Drunk 
In Public" acoustic CD available from On The Fiddle (see Links).

Transcribed by Alan Bigham, 11/2/00.  Lyrics shamelessly stolen from the excellent 
Rev Hammer Site.


INTRO:  (without fiddle)
Am ...  C  F  G  Am


CHORUS:
Am
 They'll bury us down further in the ground, 
         Am
 Than we ever dug down for a living. 
 C                               F    G     Am
 Seven years of fighting for the dead man's shilling. 

 They'll bury us down further in the ground, 
 Than we ever dug down for a living. 
 Seven years of fighting for the dead man's shilling. 


VERSE I:
 Am
 Four hundred honest men 

 Ran to Cromwell's call 
 C
 Four hundred honest men 
     F       G      Am
 Now waiting by the wall

 Four hundred honest men 
 Ran to Cromwell's call 
 Four hundred honest men 
 Are now waiting by the wall


CHORUS


Am ...  C  F  G  Am   x2


VERSE II:
 Four hundred honest men 
 Ran to Cromwell's call 
 Four hundred honest men 
 Now waiting by the wall
 We are four hundred honest men, 
 And nothing have we got, 
 'Cause Free-born John is in the Tower 
 And tomorrow we'll be shot. 


CHORUS


Am ...  C  F  G  Am   x2


CHORUS
