*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS*****
Danú - Green Brooms
[Intro]
G   C   D   G   C   D
[Verse 1]
There Gwas a man and he Dlived in the east
His trade, it was cutting down brooms, green Cbrooms
DHe had a Cson and his name was GJohn
And he Dstayed in bed until noon, 'Ctil noon
He Gstayed in Cbed until Dnoon
[Verse 2]
So the Gfather arose and Dup to John goes
He swore he would burn his room, gay Croom
If Dhe didn't Crise and sharpen his Gknives
And go Ddown to the wood to cut brooms, green Cbrooms
And go Gdown to the Cwood to cut Dbrooms
[Verse 3]
So, GJohnny went on down Dthrough the green wood
'Til he came to a castle of fame, fame, Cfame
He Dspied a fair Cmaid and he stood at the Ggate
Crying, "Fair Dmaid, do you want any brooms, green Cbrooms?
Fair Gmaid, do you Cwant any Dbrooms?"
[Verse 4]
This Glady, being up in her Dwindow so high
She spied this young man, so terribly Cneat
She Dsaid to her Cmaid, "Go down to the Ggate
And call Din this young man with his brooms, green Cbrooms
Call Gin this young Cman with his Dbrooms"
[Verse 5]
So, GJohnny went into this Dcastle so great
And entered this lady's room, gay Croom
She Dgave him a Cchair and she bid him sit Gdown
Crying, "You're Dwelcome, young man, with your brooms, green Cbrooms
You're Gwelcome, young Cman, with your Dbrooms"
[Verse 6]
They Gsent for the priest and Dmarried they were
All in this lady's room, gay Croom
So Dboys, will we Cdrink? Or what do you think?G  
There is Dnothing like cutting down brooms, green Cbrooms
There's Gnothing Clike cutting down Dbrooms, green Gbrooms
There's Cnothing like Gcutting down Dbrooms
