here are some hypothetical chords for the frank turner song where his backing band didn't turn up on the day of recording. or they did, but when they mixed down the recordings they'd made someone knocked the 'solo' button next to frank's channel and that was all that went out. or maybe he did it on purpose i don't know whatcha lookin at me for punk' either way there's just singing which is great because it makes it all dark and mystical like the atmosphere he's trying to evoke, how appropriate, if you play these chords while you sing it you'll destroy all that. have fun campers.
F#mMany years back when the old oaks were young BmNot long after the F#mNorthmen had Dcome A Alow and C#7evil deed was F#mdone In the Adark of B7the New F#Forest In the Adark of Ethe New F#mForest
F#mFrom the shores of Normandy King William came To BmAlbion fair, King F#mHarold to Dslay With Agreed in his heart and his C#7scurrilous F#mclaim He Atook the B7land for his F#own He Atook the Eland for his F#mown
Now F#mJohn was a blacksmith, an honest old man He Bmraised up his children and F#mworked with his Dhands At his Afamily's forge in the C#7patch of F#mland In the Adark of B7the New F#Forest In the Adark of Ethe New F#mForest
F#mKing William rode out after his victory To Bmravage the land in his F#mhunger to Dthieve For Ahunting grounds in the C#7Wessex F#mtrees He Atook the B7land for his F#own He Atook the Eland for his F#mown
But if you F#m7steal the land of an Englishman Then B7you will know this curse Your Dfirst born son's warm Eblood will run UF#mpon the EEnglish F#mearth
Now King William's son was called Rufus the Red He took up the crown when his father was dead And he rode the hunting grounds in his stead In the dark of the New Forest In the dark of the New Forest But John's curse it called out and Lord Terryl fired low The arrow struck William with a sickening blow And he fell from his horse to the ground below And the land took him for its own The land took him for its own So if you steal the land of an Englishman Then you will know this curse Your first born son's warm blood will run Upon the English earth Many years back when the old oaks were young Not long after the Northmen had come A low and evil deed was done In the dark of the New Forest In the dark of the New Forest
