[Intro]
 E5
[Verse]
E5You may have seen Wat Tyler
E5When they threw him down A5below
And the E5peasant men, all twenty thousand of them
Were G5undone then D5in one bE5low
[Chorus]
E5And you D5may have sC5een them E5holler
And you D5may have sC5een them B5run
On that E5fateful day, as the old books say
That the G5good and the mD5ighty woE5n
[Verse]
E5Up rode young King Richard
E5With a look so sly and A5cold
–God is E5mustering his clouds on our behalf
To sG5trike at your D5children yet uE5nborn
[Chorus]
E5And you D5will remaiC5n in bE5ondage
Even harD5sher than C5befoB5re
You wretE5ches of men throughout the land
Who will G5seek equalD5ity with your E5lords
[Verse]
E5Hear then brave Wat Tyler
E5And the preacher mad John A5Ball
–It E5is from our labour
That they G5have the wD5herewitE5hal
[Chorus]
E5To suppoD5rt their pC5omp and sE5plendor
While we get D5nothing C5from them at B5all
But our E5meal of rye and water
And the rG5efuse oD5f the E5straw
[Interlude]
E5 E5 E5 E5
E5 E5 A5 A5
A5 E5 E5 E5
E5 E5 E5 A5
A5 A5 E5 E5
[Verse]
E5If someone tries to tame you
AE5nd to make of you their A5slave
And if yE5ou have no means to get the better of them
Then at lG5east try to D5misbehaE5ve
[Chorus]
E5And you D5may have sC5een them E5holler
And you D5may have sC5een them B5run
On that E5fateful day, as the old books say
That the G5good and the D5mighty E5won
E5And you D5may have sC5een them E5holler
And you D5may have sC5een them B5run
On that E5fateful day, as the old books say
That the G5good and the D5mighty E5won

[Intro]

[Verse]

You may have seen Wat Tyler

E5 A5

When they threw him down below

And the peasant men, all twenty thousand of them

G5 D5 E5

Were undone then in one blow

[Chorus]

E5 D5 C5 E5

And you may have seen them holler

D5 C5 B5

And you may have seen them run

On that fateful day, as the old books say

G5 D5 E5

That the good and the mighty won

[Verse]

Up rode young King Richard

E5 A5

With a look so sly and cold

–God is mustering his clouds on our behalf

G5 D5 E5

To strike at your children yet unborn

[Chorus]

E5 D5 C5 E5

And you will remain in bondage

D5 C5 B5

Even harsher than before

You wretches of men throughout the land

G5 D5 E5

Who will seek equality with your lords

[Verse]

Hear then brave Wat Tyler

E5 A5

And the preacher mad John Ball

–It is from our labour

G5 D5 E5

That they have the wherewithal

[Chorus]

E5 D5 C5 E5

To support their pomp and splendor

D5 C5 B5

While we get nothing from them at all

But our meal of rye and water

G5 D5 E5

And the refuse of the straw

[Interlude]

E5 E5 E5 E5

E5 E5 A5 A5

A5 E5 E5 E5

E5 E5 E5 A5

A5 A5 E5 E5

[Verse]

If someone tries to tame you

E5 A5

And to make of you their slave

And if you have no means to get the better of them

G5 D5 E5

Then at least try to misbehave

[Chorus]

E5 D5 C5 E5

And you may have seen them holler

D5 C5 B5

And you may have seen them run

On that fateful day, as the old books say

G5 D5 E5

That the good and the mighty won

E5 D5 C5 E5

And you may have seen them holler

D5 C5 B5

And you may have seen them run

On that fateful day, as the old books say

G5 D5 E5

That the good and the mighty won
