D5                               E5  A5  
In the tower of London, large as life, 
A5                                    D5
the ghost of Anne Bolyn walks they declare.
D5                                    E5  A5  
Poor Anne Bolyn was once King Henry's wife 
A5                                   D5   A5 D5
until he made the headsman bob her hair.
    E5            Bb5                A5
Ah, yes, he did her wrong long years ago 
    Bb5                               A5
and she comes up at night to tell him so,


Chorus:
               D5   E5 D5     A5  D5   E5      D5    A5
      With her head      tucked    underneath her arm 
          D5   E5 D5     E5    A5   
      she walks        the bloody tower,
               E5   G5   D5   E5      D5          
      With her head   tucked underneath her arm 
E5   Bb5  Bb5   A5
      at the mid night hour.



    D5                  E5   
She comes to haunt King Henry. 
          Bb5             A5       
She means giving him what for. 
   D5                    E5   
Gadzooks, she's going to tell him off. 
      Bb5          A5                    
She's feeling very sore,          
  E5             G5        
& just in case the headsman wants to 
D5       E5   Bb5   
give her an     encore 
              A5    E5   Bb5   A5         D5      
she's has her head tucked underneath her arm.

Chorus


    D5                  E5             Bb5              A5       
The sentries think that it's a football  that she carries in 
    D5              E5                Bb5           A5       
and when they had a few they shout, "Is Army going to win?"
     E5                G5              D5       E5  Bb5   
They think that it's Red Grange instead of poor old Ann   Bolyn 
         A5    E5   Bb5   A5         D5      
with her head tucked underneath her arm.

D5                               E5   A5  
Sometimes gay King Henry gives a spread  
    A5                                 D5
for all his pals and gals and ghostly crew.
    D5                                     E5  A5  
The headsman craves the joint and cuts the bread 
     A5                                D5   A5 D5
then in comes Anne Bolyn to queer the do.
    E5              Bb5              A5
She holds her head up with a wild war whoop 
    Bb5                                A5
and Henry cries, "Don't drop it in the soup!"

Chorus

    D5                    E5          Bb5            A5       
One night she caught King Henry, he was in the canteen bar. 
     D5                E5          Bb5                 A5       
Said he, "Are you Jane Seymour, Anne Bolyn, or Katherine Parr?
E5              G5        D5     E5    Bb5   
How the sweet san perryann do I know who you are 
          A5    E5   Bb5   A5          D5       HIGH Dm.    
with your head tucked underneath your arm?"
