Robin Hood - The Phony King Of England Ukulele tab

	  G 
Oh the world will sing of an English King 

A thousand years from now, 
   D 
And not because he passed some laws 
   G 
Or had that lofty brow. 
G 
While bonny good King Richard leads 

The great crusade he's on, 
      D  
We'll all have to slave away 
         G 
For that good-for-nothin' John! 
G 
Incredible as he is inept, 

Whenever the history books are kept, 
                                   D  G 
They'll call him the phony king of England. 
                           D  G 
A pox on the phony king of England! 


G 
He sits alone on a giant throne, 

Pretendin' he's the king, 
  D 
A little tyke who's rather like 
  G 
A puppet on a string, 

And he throws an angry tantrum 
                      
if he cannot have his way... 
    D 
And then he calls for Mum, 

while he's suckin' his thumb. 
            G 
You see, he doesn't want to play. 

G 
Too late to be known as John the First, 

He's sure to be known as John the worst, 
                             D  G 
A pox on that phony king of England! 

Lay that country on me, babe! 

G 
While he taxes us to pieces 

And he robs us of our bread, 
     D 
King Richard's crown keeps slippin' down 
  G 
Around that pointed head, 

Ah! But while there is a merry man 

in Robin's wily pack, 
      D 
We'll find a way to make him pay 
    G 
And steal our money back. 

A minute before he knows we're there... 
(NO CHORDS) 
Ol' Rob'll snatch his underwear! 

G                              D  G 
The breezy and uneasy king of England, 
     D 
The snivellin', grovellin', 

Measly, weasely, 

Blabberin', jabberin', 

Gibberin', jabberin', 

Blunderin', plunderin', 

Wheelin', dealin', 
       G                         D  G 
Prince John, that phony king of England, 

Yeah!
