The intro and the outro to this song is quite slow, the rest is faster.
INTRO:
C C
I'll tell thee a tale, now listen to me
F C
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain
C C
But merry or sad, which shall it be?
F C
For the rain, it raineth every day
MAIN SONG:
C
When that I was a little tiny boy
C
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
C
A foolish thing was but a toy
F C
For the rain it raineth every day
C
And when I came to man's estate
C
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain
C
'gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gate
F C
For the rain it raineth every day
C
And when I came, alas, to wive
C
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain
C
But swaggering I couldn't thrive
F C
For the rain it raineth every day
-Bridge-
C
But when I came unto my beds
C
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain
C
While toss-pots still had drunken heads
F G
For the rain it raineth every day
OUTRO:
C C
A great while ago the world begun
F C
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain
C C
But that is all, our play is done
F G
And we'll strive to please you every day
F C
And we'll strive to please you every day
