Henry Lee Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am]
[Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Get down, get down, little Henry Lee
And stay all night with [Dm]me
You won't find a girl in this this damn world
That will compare with [Am]me

[Chorus 1]
And the [G]wind did howl, and the wind did blow
[C]La la la la la
[Am]La la la la lee
A [Dm]little bird lit down on Henry [Am]Lee

[Verse 2]
I [Am]can't get down and I won't get down
And stay all night with [Dm]thee
For the girl I have in that merry green land
I love far better than [Am]thee

[Chorus 2]
And the [G]wind did howl, and the wind did blow
[C]La la la la la
[Am]La la la la lee
A [Dm]little bird lit down on Henry [Am]Lee

[Verse 3]
She [Am]leaned herself against a fence
Just for a kiss or [Dm]two
And with a little pen-knife held in her hand
Well she plugged him through and [Am]through

[Chorus 3]
And the [G]wind did roar, and the wind did moan
[C]La la la la la
[Am]La la la la lee
A [Dm]little bird lit down on Henry [Am]Lee

[Verse 4]
Come [Am]take him by his lily-white hands
Come take him by his [Dm]feet
And throw him in this deep, deep well
That's more than one hundred [Am]feet

[Chorus 4]
And the [G]wind did howl, and the wind did blow
[C]La la la la la
[Am]La la la la lee
A [Dm]little bird lit down on Henry [Am]Lee

[Verse 5]
[Am]Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee
'Til the flesh drops from your [Dm]bones
For the girl you have in that merry green land
Can wait forever for you to come [Am]home

[Chorus 5]
And the [G]wind did howl, and the wind did moan
[C]La la la la la
[Am]La la la la lee
A [Dm]little bird lit down on Henry [Am]Lee

[Outro 1]
[C]La la la la la
[Am]La la la la lee
A [Dm]little bird lit down on Henry [Am]Lee
[C]La la la la la
[Am]La la la la lee
A [Dm]little bird lit down on Henry [Am]Lee
[C]La la la la la
[Am]La la la la lee
A [Dm]little bird lit down on Henry [Am]Lee
