Flight Of The Conchords - Summer Of 1353 Woo A Lady Chords

[Verse 1]
 
Dm
'Twas the summer of 1353
Dm
And I sat beneath a willow tree
Dm                    C
I decided upon that day I would be
Dm
A-wooing a lady
 
[Verse 2]
 
Dm
I went to the florist and I said to she;
Dm
"I need a flower for today I will be
Dm             C
A-woo-woo-woo, a-wooing"
Dm
A lady."
 
Dm
"I'll hold this flower beneath her nose
Dm
It should smell as sweet as a rose"
Dm                          C
"For this," she said, "I'd recommend
Dm
A rose"
Dm                            C
"For a rose-like scent I'd probably go
Dm
With a rose"
 
[Verse 3]
 
Dm
Then I went to the tailor for to buy
Dm
Some clothing of the latest style
Dm                     C
Which at that time was tights
              Dm
And pointed boots.
Dm                      C
I got the very tightest tights
Dm
And the pointiest of boots
 
[Verse 4]
 
Dm
Then I said to the hairdresser "Cut my hair"
Dm
"I'll cut it like the page boys wear
Dm                            C
Just a straight line across the brow
                              Dm
I'll get a ruler and some scissors and do it for you now
Dm                              C
It's a very hot look if you're trying
         Dm
To woo a lady"
 
[Verse 5]
 
Dm
Then I needed a horse so I went to the stables
Dm
Said, "Stable Man, would I be able
Dm                 C
To hire a horse from which
        Dm
To woo m'lady?"
 
Dm
"Sire, there are two things that I must see
Dm
One florin and one form of picture ID"
Dm                 C
"Alas, I have no ID on me
Dm
Who even carries ID? It's 1353"
Dm                 C
"I maketh not the rules"
Dm
Quoth he…
 
Dm
I had a very unflattering
C               Dm
Tapestry made of me
 
[Verse 6]
 
Dm
Then from a hilltop a lady, I did view
Dm
And I knew exactly what I must do
Dm                  C
The time had come for me
             Dm
to woo this lady
 
[Chorus]
 
So I said:
 
Dm
"Woo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo
Dm                  C
"Woo-hoo, lady, I am wooing you
Dm
Woo-hoo, woo-ooh-hoo
C           Dm
I woo you, lady"
 
[Verse 7]
 
Dm
This lady then said unto me
Dm
"You can't woo me so easily
Dm
It takes more than going
C                    Dm
'Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh' to a lady"
 
Dm
But, lady, look, beneath your nose
Dm
It is a rose-scented flower which I call a rose
Dm                                 C
I have a very large horse and the tightest clothes
Dm                     C
All of these things I do to woo you
Dm
Lady
 
Dm
"The horse is big the tights are fun
Dm
But the hairdo's a little 1351
Dm                       C
In fact, it makes you look a little like
Dm
A lady"
 
[Bridgey bit]
 
Dm
He-Man has this very same haircut
He-Man, double masculine
He-Man
 
Dm
"I'm to be married to the king
Dm
We are to be wed this coming spring
Dm                             C
If you want my heart you have to challenge him
Dm
To the thing they do
With the long pointy thing
The thing where they run at one another on horseback
With a very long pointy thing
And puncture your lung"
 
[Verse 8]
 
Oooooooh
Dm
Is that the time? I should be on my way
Dm
I think I'm coming down with a little bit of the plague
Dm                              C
If it matters not to you I will just away
Dm
And claim that I wooed you anyway
Dm                               C
I'll tell all my friends in the village
                      Dm
That I wooed a lady
 
[Chrous]
 
By going
Dm            C
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo
Dm                    C
Woo-hoo, lady, I have just wooed you
Dm               C
Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo
        Dm
I wooed you… M'lady
