Tarantella - Poem by Hilaire Belloc Am Dm Do you remember an Inn, Miranda? Am-E7 Am Do you remember an Inn? Am And the tedding and the spreading Dm Of the straw for a bedding, Am-E7 F Em And the fleas that tease in the High Pyrenees, Am - E7 Am And the wine that tasted of tar? F C G And the cheers and the jeers of the young muleteers Bb C Dm (Under the vine of the dark veranda)? Do you remember an Inn, Miranda, Do you remember an Inn? And the cheers and the jeers of the young muleteers Who hadn't got a penny, And who weren't paying any, And the hammer at the doors and the din? Ebmaj7 - Bb And the hip! hop! hap! Ebmaj7 - Bb Of the clap Dm F C Of the hands to the swirl and the twirl Bb F Of the girl gone chancing, C Glancing, A7 Dancing, Gm Fm Backing and advancing, Gm D7 Snapping of the clapper to the spin Out and in-- Gm D7 Gm And the ting, tong, tang of the guitar! Do you remember an Inn, Miranda? Do you remember an Inn? Never more; Miranda, Never more. Only the high peaks hoar; And Aragon a torrent at the door. No sound In the walls of the halls where falls The tread Of the feet of the dead to the ground, Dm No sound: Am But the boom Am - E7 Am Of the far waterfall like doom.

DOWN-ADOWN-DERRY (De la Mare) Bm Down-adown-derry, F#m Sweet Annie Maroon, Bm Gathering daisies E In the meadows of Doone, Bm Sees a white fairy, A Skip buxom and free, G A Where the waters go brawling Bm In rills to the sea; C#7 F#m Singing down-adown-derry. Down-adown-derry, Sweet Annie Maroon, Through the green grasses Peeps softly; and soon Spies under green willows A fairy whose song Like the smallest of bubbles Floats bobbing along; C#7 Singing down-adown-derry. D A Down-adown-derry, Bm C#7 Her cheeks were like wine, Bm Her eyes in her wee face F#m Like water-sparks shine, D A Her niminy fingers Bm C#7 Her sleek tresses preen, A G The which in the combing F#m She peeps out between; C#7 F#m Singing down-adown-derry. Down-adown-derry, Shrill, shrill was her tune:— "Come to my water-house, Annie Maroon: Come in your dimity, Ribbon on head, To wear siller seaweed And coral instead"; Singing down-adown-derry. "Down-adown-derry, Lean fish of the sea, Bring lanthorns for feasting The gay Faërie; 'Tis sand for the dancing, A music all sweet In the water-green gloaming For thistledown feet"; Singing down-adown-derry. Down-adown-derry, Sweet Annie Maroon Looked large on the fairy Curled wan as the moon And all the grey ripples To the Mill racing by, With harps and with timbrels Did ringing reply; Singing down-adown-derry. "Down-adown-derry," Sang the Fairy of Doone, Piercing the heart Of Sweet Annie Maroon; And lo! when like roses The clouds of the sun Faded at dusk, gone Was Annie Maroon; Singing down-adown-derry. Down-adown-derry, The daisies are few; Frost twinkles powdery In haunts of the dew; And only the robin Perched on a thorn, Can comfort the heart Of a father forlorn; Singing down-adown-derry. Down-adown-derry, There's snow in the air; Ice where the lily Bloomed waxen and fair; He may call o'er the water, Cry—cry through the Mill, But Annie Maroon, alas! Answer ne'er will; Singing down-adown-derry. Made for non-commercial use only. Will be removed immediately at the request of any copyright holders. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91Cpk2iCgSo

Me (Walter de la Mare) G A As long as I live Bm A I shall always be D A My Self - and no other, Em Just me. B A Like a tree - E F#m Willow, elder, B A Aspen, thorn, G#m7 Or Cypress forlorn Am7 Like a flower, For its hour - D Primrose, or pink. Am7 Or a violet - C G Sunned by the sun, E7 And with dewdrops wet. Always just me. Till the day come on When I leave this body, It's all then done, And the spirit within it Is gone. Two Deep Clear Eyes Em7 A7 Two deep clear eyes, Em7 A7 Two ears, a mouth, a nose, Fmaj7 Ten supple fingers, Em And ten nimble toes, G Em Am D two hands, two feet, two arms, two legs, Am7 C Em And a heart through which love's blessing flows. F#m Eye bid ears Bm Hark: F#m Ears bid eyes E Mark: D Mouth bids nose A Smell: Em Nose says to mouth, A I will: Bm Heart bids mind D Wonder: Em Mind bids heart F#7 Ponder. Em7 A7 Arms, hands, feet, legs, Em7 A7 Work, play, stand, walk; A6 Em And a jimp little tongue in a honey-sweet mouth, F G With rows of teeth due North and South, C G E7 Does nothing but talk, talk, talk.

You spotted Snakes [from A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare] Em Bm C G You spotted snakes with double tongue, F Em A Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen; Em Bm C G Newts and blindworms, do no wrong, F Em A Come not near our fairy Queen. Dm A7 Philomele, with melody Dm G Sing in our sweet lullaby; F C A7 Lulla, lulla, lullaby, lulla, lulla, lullaby: Dm Gm Never harm Bb Dm Nor spell nor charm, F C Dm Come our lovely lady nigh; A7 Dm So, good night, with lullaby. Weaving spiders, come not here; Hence, you long-legged spinners, hence! Beetles black, approach not near; Worm nor snail, do no offence. Titania's Bower D D/B Asus4 A I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, Em D A Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, D D/B Asus4 A Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, Em G A With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine: Bm Em There sleeps Titania sometime of the night, Bm G A Lull’d in these flowers with dances and delight; (A riff) And there the snake throws her enamell’d skin, Em/A Dm/A Weed wide enough to wrap a fairy in: F#m D/B And with the juice of this I’ll streak her eyes, A E D And make her full of hateful fantasies.
