She Was Poor, But She Was Honest (chrom)

Trad. folk song
The Fish Brothers, Billy Bennett
Key: D

-5 6 -6* -5 -5 -5 5* -4
She was poor, but she was hon-est,
-8 -8 -7 -7 7 -6* 6
Pure un-stain-ed was her name,
-5 6 -6* -6* 7 -7 7 -8
‘Til the lo-cal squire came court-ing,
-8 -8 -7 -7 7 6 -5
And the poor girl lost her name.

Chorus:
-5 6 -6* -5 -5 -5 5* -4
It’s the same the whole world o-ver,
-8 -8 -7 -7 7 -6* 6
It’s a shame, a wretch-ed shame
-5 6 -6* -6* 7 -7 7 -8
It’s the rich who gets the pleas-ures,
-8 -8 -7 -6* 7 6 -5
And the poor who gets the blame;
