English folk song
Key: D
Time: 6/8

-77-6* -6* -6*-6*
A long time a-go
-6* -6* -6*  6  -5 -3
Way back in his-to-ry
 -9  -9   -9  -9  -9   -9  -7
When all they had to drink was
 -8  -8  -7   7  -6*  6
Noth-ing but cups of tea
-7 -9   -9 -9 -9
a-long came a man
-7 -7   -8  7   -9  -8   -7
by the name of Char-lie Mopps
-6* -7 -7  -7  -7 -7 -7 -7  -7   -7
and he in-vent-ed a won-der-ful drink
-7  7   -6* -6* -6* 6   6   -5  
and he gave it the name of hops
-7  7   -6* -6* -6* -6*-6* -6*
oh, he ought-a been an ad-m’ral
-6*-6*-6* 6 -5  -3
a sul-tan or a king
-9  -9 -9   -9   -7
and to his prais-es
-8   -7   7  -6*   6
we should al-ways sing
-7   -9   -9  -9 -9   -9  -9  -7
oh, look what he has done for us
 -7    -8   7  -9  -8   -7
he’s filled us up with cheer
 -7    -7   -7  -7   -7
Lord bless Char-lie Mopps
 7  -6* -6* -6* 6   6   -5
The man who in-vent-ed beer,
 5*    -4   -3  -4  4* -5    4*    -4
Beer, beer, did-dle-y beer, beer, beer
