Kate Rusby - Poor Old Horse

      
 
 A great christmas folk number from Kate Rusby's "Sweet Bells" album. This is
 brilliant for busking, and is a nice easy one for the accordion. This is a
 slightly simplified version, tabbed myself, but I don't promise any form of
 accuracy! Oh-Pa Oh-Pa rhythm.
 Enjoy!

 --- Verse 1 ---
 

 
       C              F     
 We've got a poor old horse,
      C                G    
 He's standing at your door,
     F              C       G  
 And if you'll only let him in,
       F                 G    
 He'll greet you all I'm sure,
       F         G       C    
 He'll greet you all I'm sure.
 
       F                 G    
 He'll greet you all I'm sure,
       F         G       C    
 He'll greet you all I'm sure.

 --- Verse 2 ---
 

 
 C                   F  
 Now that He's grown old
     C           G     
 And nature doth decay,
    F             C        G   
 My master frowns upon him now,
       F                    G   
 These words I've heard him say,
       F          G         C   
 These words I've heard him say.
 
       F                    G   
 These words I've heard him say,
       F          G         C   
 These words I've heard him say.

 --- Verse 3 ---
 

 
 C                   F  
 Now that He's grown old
     C               G     
 And scarcely can he crawl,
      F                 C        G     
 He's forced to eat the coarsest grass,
      F                 G    
 That grows against the wall,
       F    G           C    
 That grows against the wall.
 
      F                 G    
 That grows against the wall,
    F     G           C    
 It grows against the wall.

 --- Verse 4 ---
 

      C                   F     
 This poor horse was once young,
     C               G     
 And in his youthful prime,
    F              C       G   
 My master used to ride on him,
    F                G    
 He thought him very fine,
    F           G    C    
 He thought him very fine.
 
    F                G    
 He thought him very fine,
    F           G    C    
 He thought him very fine.
