xFight for favour By Seth Lakeman From the album Kitty Jay Tabbed by Ian Saunders 20 June 2009 4/4 time Key of A# Played with capo at 3rd fret in G Verse G C D I`ll sing you a song how first we began, G C Our toils and our troubles our plot and our plan. C, G/B, G6, Am7 (one stroke each) Am7 D We left our fair country, our friends and our homes, C, G/B, G6, Am7 Am7 (hammer on D strings).....D Across to the deserts wild and the mountains to roll. We travelled three weeks `til we came to the platt. Set up our camp ahead of the pack, In just a moment low we heard a faint yell, Five hundred cavalry they were riding from hell. Chorus G C D Em7 We fight for favour, G C D we will fight for pride, G C D Em7 And oh we will fight for favour, C D (hammer on G string) We will fight `til they die. They made a bold dash came near to our train, Bullets fell around like showers of rain, With long rifles at hand we fed them hot lead `Til many a brave warrior around us lay dead, Chr. We travel by day but guard in the night, Across all those mountains so high in their might, Now in a green valley we live beside a clear old stream, Our journey now ended in the land of our dreams, Chr.
