OLD UNCLE NED chrom
Trad. folk song
Key: G

  3   -4  -4 -4   4   4
There was an old dark-ey
 4   4   -5   6  -5 -4   3
And his name was Un-cle Ned
 3  -3  -4   -4 -4 -4  -3  3 -3
And he died long a-go long a-go
3-3 -4 -4  4   4   4  -5  -5 -4   3
He had no wool on the top of his head
3  -3   -4    -4    3   -3   -3   -2* 3
In the place where the wool ought to grow

 -5  -5   -5  -5   -5  -5
Then lay down the shov-el 
-5  -5  -5   4  -4  -3
And the hoe, o – o – o
 -4  -4 -4  -4  -4  -3   3  -3
Hang up the fid-dle and the bow
 3    -3    -4  -4   4
For there’s no more work
 4   -5  -5 -5   6
For poor Un-cle Ned
 6    -5   -4    3   -3   -3  -3  3
He’s gone where the good dark-ies go
