Harris And The Mare Acordes

These chords allow you to play in the original key Stan composed in, without using Double Drop D tuning.
I've personally found it easier to play.
Tab Key:
h=Hammer On
p=pull off
 
Standard Tuning, Capo 1

[Verse 1]
D9                             A                  E
Harris, my old friend, good to see your face again
A                                           B
More welcome, though, yon trap and that old mare
        A                                     E
For the wife is in a swoon, and I am all alone
D9                                     E
Harris, fetch thy mare and take us home
 
D9                            A                  E
The wife and I came out for a quiet glass of stout
A                                       B
And a word or two with neighbors in the room
          A                                         E
But young Clary, he came in, as drunk and wild as sin
D9                                               E
And swore the wife would leave the place with him
 
D9                                      A                  E
But the wife as quick as thought said, "No, I'll bloody not"
A                                      B
Then struck the brute a blow about the head
   A                                                E
He raised his ugly paw, and he lashed her on the jaw
D9                                            E
And she fell onto the floor like she were dead
 
D9                                    A                   E
Now Harris, well you know, I've never struck an angry blow
A                                        B
Nor would I keep a friend who raised his hand
        A                                                  E
I was a conscie in the war, cryin' what the hell's this for?
D9                                 E
But I had to see his blood to be a man

[Verse 2]
D9                                    A                      E
I grabbed him by his coat, spun him 'round and took his throat
A                                 B
And beat his head upon the parlor door
           A                                                     E
He dragged out an awful knife, and he roared "I'll have your life"
D9                                       E
And he stuck me and I fell onto the floor
 
D9                                         A                E
Now blood I was from neck to thigh, bloody murder in his eye
       A                               B
As he shouted out "I'll finish you for sure"
    A                                                   E
But as the knife came down, I lashed out from the ground
D9                                               E
And the knife was in his breast and he rolled o'er

[Verse 3]
D9                                  A               E
Now with the wife as cold as clay I carried her away
A                                         B
No hand was raised to help us through the door
A                                                             E
And I've brought her half a mile, but I've had to rest a while
D9                                         E
And none of them I'll call a friend no more
 
D9                                  A                     E
For when the knife came down, I was helpless on the ground
A                                  B
No neighbor stayed his hand, I was alone
A                                          E
By God, I was a man, but now I cannot stand
D9                                          E
Please, Harris, fetch thy mare, take us home
 
D9                              A                  E
Oh, Harris, fetch thy mare, and take us out of here
A                                     B
In my nine and fifty years I've never known
A                                                       E
That to call myself a man, for my loved one I must stand
D9                                    E
Now Harris, fetch thy mare take us home
