June Tabor

Biography:

June Tabor (born 31 December 1947 in Warwick, England) is considered one of the foremost English folk singers of her generation. Aside from her highly-acclaimed solo music career, she has also combined her talents with greats such as Maddy Prior (as one half of Silly Sisters), Martin Simpson, Elvis Costello and Oysterband. In 2004, and again in 2012, she was named Folk Singer of the Year at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. In 2011 the album "Ragged Kingdom" by June Tabor & Oysterband was named "Album of the Year" in the fROOTS critics poll.

Haunting, sinister, heartfelt. A lesson in understatement.

Introduction
============

Cmaj7 F Am(2) Em F
Cmaj7 F Am(2) Em F

Verse 1
=======

Cmaj7 F
As I walked out one summer's morn
Am(2) Em F
Saw a scarecrow tied to a pole in a field of corn
Cmaj7 F
His coat was black and his head was bare
Am(2) Em F
When the wind shook him the crows took up into the air


Refrain 1
=========

Am G /Gb Em
Ah, would you lay me down and love me
Am G /Gb Em F
Ah, would you lay me down and love me if you could
Cmaj7 F
But you're only a bag of rags in an over-all
Am(2) Em F
That the wind sways and the crows fly away and the corn grows tall


Verse 2
=======

Cmaj7 F
As I walked out on a winter's day
Am(2) Em F
Saw an old man hanging from a pole in a field of clay
Cmaj7 F
His coat was gone and his head hung low
Am(2) Em F
Till the wind flung it up to look, wrung his neck and let it go


Refrain 2
=========

Am G /Gb Em
How could you lay me down and love me
Am G /Gb Em F
How could you lay me down and love me now
Cmaj7 F
For you're only a bag of bones in an overall
Am(2) Em F
That the wind blows and the kids throw stones at the thing on the pole


Verse 3
=======

Cmaj7 F
As I walked out one fine spring day
Am(2) Em F
Saw twelve jolly guards sticked out in the blue and the gold so gay
Cmaj7 F
Onto a stake they tied a child new-born
Am(2) Em F
Then the bells were rung and the songs were sung and they sold their corn


Refrain 3
=========

Am G /Gb Em
Now you can lay me down and love me
Am G /Gb Em F
Now you can lay me down and love me if you will
Cmaj7 F
But you're only a bag of rags in an over-all
Am(2) Em F
But the wind blew and the sun shone to and the corn grew tall

End

Cmaj7 F
As I walked out one summer's morn
Am(2) Em F
Saw a scarecrow tied to a pole in a field of corn
