G       Bm       C         G
Me I'm just a poor boy, from across the far southland,
     Em      Bm         C        D A D
And I've traveled many days to reach this place to mke my sta - and ,
Am   G   Am6   G/D    Dm   C    Cm
I fell in with a merry band, and drank away the hours.

CHORUS:
Em   Bm      C    G
Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on,
    Em   Bm       C   G
And my head is high, from the battle won,

Laid down my   life for the Greenwood

The city boys, and the country boys, they come from miles around,

To defy their king and country, save the poor folks from the ha - and,
    Am    G     Am6   G/D   Dm   C   Cm
Of the thieving dukes and abbotts, and the gentry of the land.


CHORUS:
Em   Bm      C    G
Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on,
    Em   Bm       C   G
And my head is high, from the battle won,

Laid down  my  life for the Greenwood

 Sweet Maid Marion, don't you do me no wrong,

 Stay on the right side, the Greenwood is your ho - ome,
  Am   G       Am6 G/D    Dm    C     Cm
The dancing girls and the open fires, the wine that flows like water.

CHORUS:
Em   Bm      C    G
Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on,
    Em   Bm       C   G
And my head is high, from the battle won,
Bdim Am  Bbdim7 Bm  Am/C C  G/C G   Am C Am C
