	C
	/ (drum fill)

Verse 1:

	C	Fm
In the w	ee small hours of s	ixpence

	C	Fm
And the l	ighted chandel	ier

	Dm	Em	F	C
Stands a r	usty	old ret	ainer

Abdim (N.C.) C/G

Whose old eyes are filled with tears

For his master, good Sir Gallant

Who is now off to the wars

And although his eyes are crying

We know grief is not the cause

Chorus 1:

	F	F#dim	C
And if gr	ief is	not the r	eason

	F	F#dim	C
He must	be of	sterner st	uff

	F	Am/E	Dm
And his sw	ord, though old	and r	usty

	G	/F	/E	/D
Must be bl	unt as s	harp en	ough

Verse 2:

In the wee small hours of sixpence

And the broken windowpane

Stand the remnants of the evening

Who are waiting all in vain

For the crowing of the cockroach

Sure as morning is not night

But the air is filled with silence

And the day bright is not light

Chorus 2:

But still darkness is no reason

We are men of sterner stuff

And our swords, though old and rusty

Still are blunt as sharp enough

Instrumental break (key changes to D):

Verse 3:

	D	Gm
In the w	ee small hours of	sixpence

	D	Gm
And the h	at stand in the h	all

	Em	F#m	G	D
Waiting o	nly	for the m	orning

Bbdim (N.C.) D/A

Shadows flitting 'cross the wall

And perhaps that old retainer

Who now giving of his all

May have once been just as we are

And now has no face at all

Chorus 3:

	G	G#dim	D
But still gr	ief was	not the r	eason

	G	G#dim	D
He was m	ade of	sterner st	uff

	G	Bm/F#	Em
And his sw	ord, though old	and r	usty

	A	/G	/F#	/E
Still was bl	unt as s	harp en	ough

D Bm D (end cold)
