Verse 1
Am * * *
Oh in the Tower of London large as life
E * Am *
The ghost of Anne Boleyn walks, they declare
Am * * *
For Anne Boleyn was once King Henry's wife
Em * Am *
Until he had the axeman bob her hair
E Dm Am *
Oh yes, he done her wrong, long years ago
Dm * E *
And she comes back each night to tell him so
Chorus
Am * * *
With her head tucked underneath her arm
Am * * *
She walks___ the bloody tower
Dm * Am *
With her head tucked underneath her arm
B * E *
At the midnight hour
Verse 2
Am * E Am
She's going to find King Henry, she's giving him what for
Am * E Am
Gadzooks, she's going to tell him off for having spilled her gore
And just in case the axeman wants to give her an encore
E * Am *
She's got her head tucked underneath her arm
Am * E Am
Along the drafty corridors for miles and miles she goes
Am * E Am
She sometimes catches cold, poor thing, it's cold there when it blows
And it's awfully awkward for the queen when she has to blow her nose
Bridge
Am * * *
Now sometimes old King Henry throws a spread
E * Am *
For all his pals and gals, the ghostly crew
Am * * *
The axeman carves the joints and cuts the bread
Em * Am *
When in walks Anne Boleyn to spoil the do
E Dm Am *
She holds her head up with a wild war whoop
Dm * E *
And Henry cries, "Don't drop it in the soup!"
E * Am *
One day she found King Henry, he was in the castle bar
Am * Am
Are you Jane Seymour, Anne Boleyn or Katherine Parr
Now how the Hell am I to know just who you are
E * Am *
You got your head tucked underneath your arm
E * Am *
The sentries think that it's a football that she carries in
Am * E Am
And when they see her, they all shout, "Is Army going to win?"
For they think that it's Red Grange instead of poor old Anne Boleyn
