ELI THE BARROW BOY - The Decemberists Tabbed by: GabrielHP Email: CAPO 3 ( this is how they play it) - Key with capo, move capo if is in wrong key for your voice Then repeat if you want Strum for first 3 beats then do second part, you can throw the second part in before each verse or even before each , wherever you see fit Eli, the barrow boy Of the old town Sells coal and marigolds As he cries out All down the day Below the tamaracks He is crying: Corn cobs and candle wax for the buying All down the day "Would I could afford to buy my love a fine robe Made of gold and silk Arabian thread But she is dead and gone and lying in a pine grove And I must push my barrow all the day And I must push my barrow all the day" Eli, the barrow boy When they found him Dressed all in corduroy He had drowned in The river down the way They laid his body down in a churchyard But still when the moon is out With his push cart He calls down the day "Would I could afford to buy my love a fine gown Made of gold and silk Arabian thread But I am dead and gone and lying in a church ground And still I push my barrow all the day Still I push my barrow all the day" Thank You Gabriel HP
