Another Version for the Chords of the song "henry Lee"
By Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
I did not like the other versions, and hope that this one is more accurate.
Chords used:
Esus2: 0 | Em: 0 | Asus2: 0 | Am: 1 | Bm7: 0 | D: 0
0 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1
2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0
2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2
0 | 0 | X | X | 2 | 3
X | X | X | X | 0 | X
When you play the chorus, notice that they play a C chords, then an Am chord,
and at the end of each of those chords they play the notes: E,F,G as a passage to the next chord.
Intro: Esus2 Em
Verse:

** Apply the same chords for the rest of the Lyrics **
I can't get down and I won't get down
And stay all night with thee
For the girl I have in that merry green land
I love far better than thee
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
She leaned herself against a fence
Just for a kiss or two
And with a little pen-knife held in her hand
She plugged him through and through
And the wind did roar and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
Come take him by his lilly-white hands
Come take him by his feet
And throw him in this deep deep well
Which is more than one hundred feet
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee
Till the flesh drops from your bones
For the girl you have in that merry green land
Can wait forever for you to come home
And the wind did howl and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
