When we were under the king
        D            A            Bm        A
Lived a miller and a weaver and a little tailor,
      G     A         D
Three jolly rogues of Lynne
      D     A         D
Three jolly rogues of Lynne,
      D     A         D
Three jolly rogues of Lynne

[VERSE 2]
        D         A     D
Now the miller he stole corn,
        D         A     D
And the weaver he stole yarn
        D          A     Bm         A
And the little tailor he stole broadcloth
   G          A            D
To keep these three rogues warm
   D          A            D
To keep these three rogues warm,
   D          A            D
To keep these three rogues warm
        D          A     Bm         A
And the little tailor he stole broadcloth

To keep these three rogues warm

G     A      D
 
[VERSE 3]
        D          A              D
Now the miller was drowned in his dam
        D          A           D
And the weaver was hung in his yarn
        D             A           Bm         A
And the devil got his claw on the little tailor
         G          A         D
With his broadcloth under his arm
         D          A         D
With his broadcloth under his arm,
         D          A         D
With his broadcloth under his arm
        D           A       Bm           A
And the little tailor still runs through hell,
         G          A         D
With his broadcloth under his arm
D     A      Bm     A
G     A      D
