Biografia:
Fairport Convention é considerada a primeira banda inglesa de electric folk. Formada em abril de 1967 por Simon Nicol, Richard Thompson, Ashley Hutchings e Shaun Frater, o Fairport rapidamente evoluiu do estilo de versões cover de músicas "west coast" estadunidenses para um estilo individual que mesclava rock com canções tradicionais britânicas.
Marcada por várias mudanças na formação em sua primeira década, o Fairport Convention desmembrou-se

[Chorus]
F C
And on the field of Blackheath
F C
Us commons covered the earth
G C
More men than ever I did see
F G A B
Poor honest men from birth
[Verse]
A E A E
Men came up from Kent and out of Essex too
B A B
Naught but the Thames divides us and unites us onwards through
A E A E
All the villages of England, on to London town
B A B
Where we poor men would see our king and lay our grievance down
A E A E
Wat Tyler led us men from Kent, rough hands were shaken there
B A B
King Richard and the commons, our bold resolve and prayer
[Instrumental]
G C F B
[Verse]
A E A E
We knew our king would hear us, our loyalty was clear
B A B
The bloody lawyers' poll tax had a-brought us labourers here
A E A E
And yet he wouldn't see us, so to London we did roar
B A B
And the poor there and the Essex men, burst down the prison door
[Verse]
A E A E
What happened at the Tower was justice, rough in part
B A B
The murders of the Flemish boys, sat uneasy in my heart
A E A E
"Now the king must see us", said Tyler to his men
B A B
The very next day young Richard came and met us at Mile End
[Chorus]
G D
And on the field of Blackheath
G D
Us commons covered the earth
A D
More men than ever I did see
G A B
Poor honest men from birth
[Verse]
A E A E
Kent and Essex, Bedford, Sussex received King Richard's word
B A B
No harm nor blame would come to them if home they would return
A E A E
Lincoln, Cambridge, Stafford too, received our young king's favour
B A B
Though thirty thousand left us there, believing it was over
[Verse]
A E A E
But Tyler, he was not convinced and told us to remain
B A B
"I want to hear his words again, for nothing much has changed"
A E A E
Tyler, he approached the king and took Richard by the arm
B A B
And his rough but friendly gesture, caused Richard's knights alarm
[Instrumental]
E B E B F# B E F# G#
[Verse]
A E A E
"Ah, me lord " said Tyler, "companions we will be"
B A B
"I shall trust in you my lord, if you will trust in me"
A E A E
So he called for water, and then he called for ale
B A B
And his manner shocked young Richard's knights and I watched the Lord Mayor pale
[Verse]
A E A E
"I know this man" a voice accused, "Wat Tyler is a thief"
B A B
The Lord Mayor feared he'd harm the king, that was his true belief
A E A E
And there at Smithfield, drew his sword and cut our captain down
B A B
And the heart went out of all of us, with his blood upon the ground
[Chorus]
G D
And on the field of Blackheath
G D
Us commons covered the earth
A D
More men than ever I did see
G A B
Poor honest men from birth
[Verse]
A E A E
Young Richard, he was merciful when he pardoned one and all
B A B
But home to Kent like beaten dogs, still serfs we had to crawl
G D G D
But how precious was our liberty and the hope that filled us all
A D Em D G
Left poor Tyler's severed head upon a bloody pole...

And on the field of Blackheath

Us commons covered the earth

More men than ever I did see
