[Intro]
G
 
 
[Verse 1]
G                        C/G        G
William Fitzwilliam went walking in April
G                                            D
By the green briar roses on the banks of the Thames
G                           C/G         G
When over his kerchief there came such a clamor
G                             D      G
That William Fitzwilliam took shelter within
 
[Chorus]
C/G                                          G
But don't lose your head to this rooting and raging
C/G                           Am          D
Don't lose your heart to the sweetness of sin
G                        C/G                     G
And don't go out wandering for the ghosts hover 'round you
G
The Howards and the Seymours
D             G
The Poles and Boleyns
 
[Verse 2]
G                        C/G              G
When William Fitzwilliam emerged from his arbors
G                                   D
A luminance shone such as he'd never seen
G                     C/G              G
And so on to London he lit on his skateboard
G                      D               G
To arrive in a tumult to greet the new queen
 
[Chorus]
C/G                                            G
But don't lose your head to this rooting and raging
C/G                            Am         D
Don't lose your heart to the sweetness of sin
G                          C/G                   G
And don't go out wandering for the ghosts hover 'round you
G
The Howards and the Seymours
D               G
The Poles and Boleyns
 
[Interlude]
G C/G G D
 
[Verse 3]
G                            C/G         G
As night settled earthly all clad in its sables
G                                             D
And England's fair princes were snug in their beds
G                         C/G         G
William Fitzwilliam will glide on the Humber
G                                 D          G
In star-silver sneakers above the living and dead
 
 
[Ghorus]
C/G                                          G
But don't lose your head to this rooting and raging
C/G                            Am         D
Don't lose your heart to the sweetness of sin
G                          C/G                   G
And don't go out wandering for the ghosts hover 'round you
