C G Am F
it’s a tinker i Am , and a travellin’ man
C G
i follow the wind and the stars
C G Am F
if i’ve shoes on me feet , and an old crust to eat
C G C
i’m as happy as any by far

C G Am F
i’m as rich as a king when i lay down to dream
C G
on my pillow of sawdust or hay
C G Am F
and the friends that i make i would never forsake
C G C
and their kindness one day i’ll repay

chorus :
F C
so thank you for sharing the warmth of your fire
C G
and an ’oul cup of tea or two
C C Am F
and that warm feather bed , where i lay down my head
C G C
for making me welcome , thank you .
C G Am F
i’m a jack of all trades , and as sharp as a blade
C G
when it comes to the markets and fairs
C G Am F
mending ’oul pots and pans or whatever i can
C G C
not a penny i’d give for your cares

chorus

bridge :
F C
now the cold winds of winter can cut like a knife
F C
and the rain chills me deep to the bone
F C
but the warm summer breezes still blow in my mind
F C
and it’s them keeps me carryin’ on

C G Am F
when the cock crows the dawn , i’ll be already gone
C G
through the meadow that runs by the trees
C G Am F
i think nothing of time , for the world is all mine
C G C
i can come and can go as i please
repeat chorus twice
