[D]Old King Cole was a merry old sou[G]l,

He called for his pipe,
and he [G]called for his bowl,
and he [A]called for his privates [D]three.
Beer, beer, beer to the privates,
merry [A]men are [D]we.
They were [G]not so fair
as [D]can compare
with a fighting [A]infantry.[D]
All King Cole was [G]a merry old soul,
and a [A]merry old soul was he
[D]He called for his pipe,
