[VERSE 1:]
It's [Dm]almost over it's [F]almost done
And you [G]can't put the blame on [A7]anyone
It's [Dm]almost easy and it's [F]almost fun
Did [G]you get caught with your [A7]britches on
[CBORUS:]
[Asus4]Hi derry-day in the [Dm]month of May
Was the [F]song the minstrel [C]sang
[Gm]To the good of [Dm]Robin Hood
Maid [A7]Marian and all the [Dm]gang[G] [Dm] [G]
[VERSE 2:]
His [Dm]aim was mean and his [F]shot was clean
And his [G]suit was the sheen of the [A7]evergreen
The [Dm]folks he knew had [F]naught to fear
When the [G]sheriff was there, they were [A7]over here
[CBORUS:]
[Asus4]Hi derry-doon in the [Dm]month of June
Was the [F]song the minstrel [C]sung

Good [A7]name and a place to [Dm]run[G] [Dm] [G] [Dm] [G] [Dm] [G]
[VERSE 3:]
He [Dm]loved strong ale and a [F]rundown jail
Was the [G]kind of a scene where he [A7]never failed
There [Dm]was no man on the [F]sea or land
Who could [G]get Maid Marian on the [A7]trail
[CBORUS:]

[VERSE 4:]
It's [Dm]almost over, it's [F]almost done
And you [G]can't put the blame on [A7]Marion
She [Dm]almost made it to the [F]Friar's Gate
But the [G]old wooden bridge wouldn't [A7]elevate
[CBORUS:]
[Asus4]Hi derry-doon in the [Dm]month of June
Was the [F]song the minstrel [C]sung
[Gm]To the good of [Dm]Robin Hood's
Good [A7]name and a place to [Dm]run [G] [Dm] [G] [Dm] [G] [Dm] [G]
