Misc Traditional - The chandlers wife

I ^Gwent into the chandler's shop some candles ^D7for to ^Gbuy, I looked around the chandler's shop ^A7but no one did I ^Dspy. ^GI was disappointed and some ^A7angry words I s^D7aid, Then I h^Geard the sound of a *Tap, Tap Tap* ^D7up above m^Gy head. Oh, I he^Gard the sound of a *Tap, Tap Tap* u^D7p above my^G head.

We^Gll I was slick and I was quick, and up the ^D7stairs I ^Gsped, And much to my surprise I found the ^A7chandler's wife in ^Dbed; ^GAnd with her was another man of ^A7most gigantic s^D7ize, And ^Gthey were having a *Tap, Tap Tap* ^D7right before my ^Geyes, And ^Gthey were having a *Tap, Tap Tap* ^D7right before my ^Geyes,

Wh^Gen the fun was over and done and the lady ra^D7ised her ^Ghead, She was quite surprised to find me s^A7tanding by the ^D7bed. ^G"If you will be discreet, my lad, if ^A7you would be so ^D7kind, I'll ^Glet you come up for some *Tap, Tap Tap* when^D7ever you feel ^Ginclined." I'll ^Glet you come up for some *Tap, Tap Tap* when^D7ever you feel ^Ginclined."

So^G, many a day and many a night when the chan^D7dler wasn't ^Ghome, To get myself some candles to the chan^A7dler's shop I'd ^D7roam. ^GBut nary a one she gave to me, but ^A7gave to me inst^D7ead, A little^G bit more of the *Tap, Tap Tap* to ^D7light my way to ^Gbed. A little^G bit more of the *Tap, Tap Tap* to ^D7light my way to ^Gbed.

So^G, all you married men take heed, if ever ^D7you come to ^Gtown, If you must leave your woman alone, be ^A7sure to tie her ^D7down. ^GOr, if you would be kind to her, just ^A7sit her on the ^D7floor, And ^Ggive her so much of that *Tap, Tap Tap* she ^D7doesn't need any ^Gmore And ^Ggive her so much of that *Tap, Tap Tap* she ^D7doesn't need any ^Gmore
