[Em] [C]
[G] I'm Dobby [D] the Tinker
[Em] and my brother [C] is Tom
[D] We go where [G] the [D] work is, [C] me boys, and [D] we work where [C] we can
[Em] With the men and [D] the nuns and the pips and
[Em] It's together [C] we stay
[D] Intending [G] our [D]
fortunes to [C] try on the [D] all-changing [C] way
[G]
[C] We [G]
[D] [Em] come to [D] your city
[Em] And we call on your [C] wives
[D] We'll fix up your [G] kettles, [D] please [C] dear missus
[D] We'll sharpen your [C] knives
[Em] And we always [D] agree
[Em] That together we'd [C] stay
[D] Intending [G] our [D] fortunes to [C] try on the [D] all-changing [C] [G] way

[Em] [C]
[G] times they [D] grew stenty [Em] and the money [C] grew thin
We [D] worked for [G] a song [D]
but [C] the money [D] it didn't [C] come in
[Em] Now brothers [D] are kindred
[Em] but [G] hard [C] times betray
[D] And so we [G] [D] stumble
[C] apart on [D] the all [C]-changing [G] way
[C] We [G]
[D] [Em] never [D] agreed
[Em] to divide our [C] tin
And [D] when you're out [G] of love [D] with your [C] brother
Your [D] hard times [C] begin
[Em] For the spikes and [D] the brothels
[Em] They're shameful [C] to see
But [D] don't you travel [G] alone, [D]
boys
[C] This warning [D] you take [Em] from me
You must share with [D] your nearest
[Em] Till the end [C] of your days
[D] Or else it's [G] [D] forever
The [C] all-wrong, [D] the all [C]-changing way
