[Intro] F [Verse 1] F I'm William the Conqueror F My enemies stood no chance F They call me the first English king C Although I come from France C 1066, the Doomsday book C I gave to history C So fat on death my body burst F But enough about me A# To help remember all your kings F I've come up with this song G A simple rhyming ditty C For you all to sing along [Chorus 1] F Oh, William [Spoken] n.c. Bit short init. Who came next? [Verse 2] A# William second, cheeks were red A Killed out hunting, so it's said G# I took over, Henry one G C That's my next eldest son A# Then King Stephen, it's true check it! A I, Henry two, killed Thomas Beckett G# Richard Lionheart? That's right! G C Always spoiling for a fight A# Oh King John, what a disaster A n.c. Rule restrained by Magna Carta [Chorus 2] F William, William, Henry, Stephen G Henry, Richard, John, oi! C Time for my mate, King Henry eight To take up this song [Verse 3] F Henry three built the abbey F Ed one hated Scots F A red hot poker killed Ed two C That must have hurt him lots C Edward third was a chivalry nerd C Began the hundred years war C Then Richard two was king aged ten F Then Henry, yes one more A# King Henry four, plots galore F Not least from Henry five, why? G Killed ten score at Agincourt C Then Henry six arrived (WAH!) F Edward four, Edward five F Richard the third, he's bad C 'Cause he fought wars with Henry seventh C First Tudor and my dad C So Henry eight, I was great C Six wives, two were beheaded C F Edward the sixth came next, but he died young F And so my dreaded A# Daughter Mary ruled, so scary F Then along came... me G I'm Liz the first, I had no kids C So Tudors RIP [Chorus 3] F William, William, Henry, Stephen G Henry, Richard, John, oi! C Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich two F Then three more Henrys join our song F Edward, Edward, Rich the third A# Henry, Henry, Ed again C Mary one, good Queen Bess C That's me, time for more men [Verse 4] F James six of Scotland next F As English James the first he led F Then Stuarts ruled, so Charles the first C The one who lost his head C No monarchy until came me C Charles two, I liked to party C King Jimmy two was scary, woooh F Then Mary was a smarty A# She ruled with Bill, their shoes were filled F By sourpuss Queen Anne Gloria C G And so from then, you were ruled by men C Till along came me Victoria [Chorus 4] F William, William, Henry, Stephen G Henry, Richard, John, oi!
