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
