Show of Hands - The gamekeeper

^GIn De^Cvonshire^G I was a keeper, Half^Em my^C life I li^Gved outdoors. Usi^Dng skills m^Emy father taught me, On land^Am that edg^Ded the o^Ampen ^Dmoor^Gs.

^GI'd cut t^Che snares^G of every poacher, Ris^Eming h^Cours be-f^Gore the sun. I gua^Drded nests and pl^Emanted cover, And drov^Ame the birds t^Doward^Ams th^De g^Guns.

^GI fought ^Cin France like h^Galf this county, With all t^Emhe ski^Clls I ^Gbrought from home. I s^Det trap^Ems and laid the wire, The earth grew ^Amred as Devon's ^Down. ^{Am D G}

^GJuly the^C first^G, nineteen sixteen, We early ^Emrose, p^Cassed round ^Gthe rum. The whis^Dtles blew and we b^Emroke cover, And walk^Amed in line toward^Ds the guns. We walke^Amd in line towards^D the guns.

^GBack on the l^Cand, I h^Gire the beaters, And wh^Emen th^Ce glor-ious^G twelfth has come. We stand ^Din line,^Em we wait in sil-ence, And wal^Amk once more ^Dtowards the guns.

We walk to-^Amwards the waiting g^Duns. We walk to-^Amwards the waiting g^Duns. We walk to-^Amwards the waiting g^Duns. ^G
