     Am
The fairy folk have gathered
round the new-moon shine
To see the feller crack a nut at
 B
night's noon-time
             Em
To swing his axe he swears,
        D
as it climbs he dares
      C
To deliver
             Am  B  Em
The Master-Stroke

Chorus:
  C          G        Am
Ploughman, "Waggoner Will", and types
     C      G        Am
Politician with senatorial pipe -
             Dm      Am
he's a dilly-dally-o
 F
Pedagogue squinting, wears a frown
             C           Dm
And a satyr peers under lady's
               Am
gown, a dirty fellow
              Dm   F G
What a dirty laddio

 C         G          Am
Tatterdemalion and a junketer
            C           G
There's a thief and a dragonfly
  Am               Dm      Am
trumpeter he's my hero (a- ah)
 F
Fairy dandy tickling the
A#    F       C    Dm
fancy of his lady friend
              Am
The nymph in yellow
(can we see the master stroke)
               Dm    F G
What a quaere fellow

Soldier, sailor, tinker, tailor, ploughboy
Waiting to hear the sound
And the arch-magician presides
He is the leader

Chorus:
Oberon and Titania watched by a harridan
Mab is the queen and there's a good apothecary-man
Come to say hello
Fairy dandy tickling the
fancy of his lady friend
The nymph in yellow
What a quaere fellow

    C        G          Am
The ostler stares with hands on his knees
     C       G
Come on Mr. Feller,
         Am
crack it open of you please
