Tabbed by: Chadster111 This song is fairly simple once you get down the chords. The chords are: C : x32010 G : 320003 Am : xx2210 F : x33211 Once you have these chords down it is a simple, 'down-down-down-down' strum pattern. You will play the chords simultaneously with the quarter notes. Please be aware that you will strike 'C' twice, 'G' twice, 'Am' twice, but only 'F' once. Once you hit 'F' once, you start over the pattern like so: C C G G Am Am F C C G G e | ----0-----0-----3-----3------0------0-----1-- | --0-----0-----3-----3---etc. | B | ----1-----1-----0-----0------1------1-----1-- | --1-----1-----0-----0------- | G | ----0-----0-----0-----0------2------2-----2-- | --0-----0-----0-----0------- | D | ----2-----2-----0-----0------2------2-----3-- | --2-----2-----0-----0------- | A | ----3-----3-----2-----2------x------x-----3-- | --3-----3-----2-----2------- | E | ----x-----x-----3-----3------x------x-----x-- | --x-----x-----3-----3------- | This pattern ensues throughout the entire song. Now to the entire tabulature: C G There was an old farmer who lived on a rock, Am F he sat in the meadow, just shaking his C G fist at the boys who were down by the crick, Am F their feet in the water, their hands on their C G marbles and playthings and hand half-past four, Am F there came a young lady, she looked like a C G pretty young creature she sat on the grass, Am F she pulled up her dress, and she showed them her C G ruffles and laces and fluffy white duck, Am F she said she was learning a new way to C G bring up her children, so they would not spit Am F while the boys in the barnyard were shoveling C G refuse, and litter from yesterday's hunt Am F while the girl in the meadow was rubbing her C G eye at the fellow, down by the dock Am F he looked like a man with a sizable C G home in the country, with a big fence out front Am F if he asked her politely, she'd show him her C G little pet dog, who was subject to fits Am F and maybe she'd let him grab hold of her C G small, tender hands with a movement so quick Am F and then she'd bend over and suck on his C G candy, so tasty made of butterscotch Am F and then he'd spread whip cream all over her C G cookies that she had left out on her shelf Am if you think this is dirty F you can go ____ yourself!
