[Verse 1]
[Em]Tom[G][D][Em]
Boleyn was a

His [Em]shoes was tight, his [B]britches torn
His [Em]fly held close by the [D]point of a pin
It makes for speed, says

[Em]Boleyn, hi -ho[G][D]
[Em]
Tom
Boleyn went a [D]-courtin' one night
The [Em]mother and daughter,
[B]they stripped for a fight
A [Em]scream that scratched in their [D]na ked skin,
I'll [Em]honor you both, says

Boleyn, hi [G]-ho[Em][D]
[Em]
One night, returning to his [D]journey's end,
he [Em]found his wife [B]in bed with a friend.
The [Em]weather was cold [D]and the blanket's thin,
and [Em]asleep in the middle's his [B]tumbling, [Em]tumbling,
[G]tum[D]bling, tum[Em]bling high, oh.[G]
[D]Wel[Em]l, went to church just
[D]once in his life
Where they [Em]preached against
slaying [B]with another
man's wife
They [Em]called it a shame and they [D]called it a
sin
[Em]Keep some happy, says
[B]Tom
[Em]Boleyn

Boleyn[G],
[D]Tom
Boleyn,
[Em]Tom
Boleyn, my oh
[G]Now,[D][Em]
Tom
Boleyn had a [D]mangy cur with a [Em]racky
And [B]matted fur.
He lay like [Em]dead till a [D]bitch come in.
It's
[Em]Lazarus risen, says
Tom
Boleyn.
Tom
Boleyn,
[D]Tom
Boleyn,
[Em]Tom
Boleyn, hi [G]-ho.[D][Em]
Now
Tom
Boleyn, [D]he needed a coat.
He [Em]borrowed a skin from a
[B]neighboring goat.
The [Em]horns at his middle he set [D]with a
grin. I [Em]wish they was mine, says
[B]Tom
Boleyn[Em].
Tom
Boleyn,
[D]Tom
Boleyn,
Tom
[Em]Boleyn, hi -ho![G][Am]
[Em]
But the goat's skin itched till
his [D]skin was sore,
[Em]He vowed that he wouldn't
wear [B]it no more.
The [Em]skinny side out, the [D]woolly side in,
Al[Em]though bare -ass is
[B]Tom
Boleyn[Em].
Tom
Boleyn,
Tom
Boleyn[D],
[Em]Tom
Boleyn, hi -ho!
