DUNDERBECK chrom
19th C. American folk song
Key: E
Time: 6/8

 -4    6  6  6   -6*   7*  7*  7*
There was a man named Dun-der-beck
6  -6* -6*-6*-5*  6
In-vent-ed a ma-chine
-6*   7*   7*   7*   -7 -8   -8   -8
For grind-ing things to sau-sage meat
-8  8* -6* -6* 7*  -6*
And it was run by steam
-8   8*    8*    8*  -7  -8  -8  -8
Now long tailed rats and pus-sy cats
 7*  -7  7*  -6* 6   -6*
Will nev-er more be seen
  -4     6  6     6  -6*  7*  7*   7*
They’ll all be ground to sau-sage meat
6  -6* -6*   6   -5*   6
In Dun-der-beck’s ma-chine
