Verse
G D G D
Men came up from Kent and out of Essex too
A G A
Naught but the Thames divides us and unites us onwards through
G D G D
All the villages of England, on to London town
A G A
Where we poor men would see our king and lay our grievance down
G D G D
Wat Tyler led us men from Kent, rough hands were shaken there
A G A
King Richard and the commons, our bold resolve and prayer
[Instrumental]
F A# D# A
[Verse]
G D G D
We knew our king would hear us, our loyalty was clear
A G A
The bloody lawyers' poll tax had a-brought us labourers here
G D G D
And yet he wouldn't see us, so to London we did roar
A G A
And the poor there and the Essex men, burst down the prison door
[Verse]
G D G D
What happened at the Tower was justice, rough in part
A G A
The murders of the Flemish boys, sat uneasy in my heart
G D G D
"Now the king must see us", said Tyler to his men
A G A
The very next day young Richard came and met us at Mile End
[Chorus]
F C
And on the field of Blackheath
F C
Us commons covered the earth
G C
More men than ever I did see
F G A
Poor honest men from birth
[Verse]
G D G D
Kent and Essex, Bedford, Sussex received King Richard's word
A G A
No harm nor blame would come to them if home they would return
G D G D
Lincoln, Cambridge, Stafford too, received our young king's favour
A G A
Though thirty thousand left us there, believing it was over
[Verse]
G D G D
But Tyler, he was not convinced and told us to remain
A G A
"I want to hear his words again, for nothing much has changed"
G D G D
Tyler, he approached the king and took Richard by the arm
A G A
And his rough but friendly gesture, caused Richard's knights alarm
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G D G D
"Ah, me lord " said Tyler, "companions we will be"
A G A
"I shall trust in you my lord, if you will trust in me"
G D G D
So he called for water, and then he called for ale
A G A
And his manner shocked young Richard's knights and I watched the Lord Mayor pale
[Verse]
G D G D
"I know this man" a voice accused, "Wat Tyler is a thief"
A G A
The Lord Mayor feared he'd harm the king, that was his true belief
G D G D
And there at Smithfield, drew his sword and cut our captain down
A G A
And the heart went out of all of us, with his blood upon the ground
[Chorus]
F C
And on the field of Blackheath
F C
Us commons covered the earth
G C
More men than ever I did see
F G A
Poor honest men from birth
[Verse]
G D G D
Young Richard, he was merciful when he pardoned one and all
A G A
But home to Kent like beaten dogs, still serfs we had to crawl
F C F C
But how precious was our liberty and the hope that filled us all
G C Dm C F
Left poor Tyler's severed head upon a bloody pole...
