(Am….descending bass line
then on the choruses, it’s CDAm, CDAm, CDE)
I saw you in Leicester Square, you were lookin down
Sidled up and said, can I borrow half a Crown
The fiddlers came, caught your attention ‘way from me
Oh if I played the fiddle I would jam the Jigary
Cravn Violin Static (3x
Your coat it was forest green your hair of careless brown
I said I’ll buy us bitters if you’ll lend me half a Crown
Can’t remember what you said but then you turned away
Oh if I played the fiddle, I’d get you to stay
Cravn Violin Static (3x

I’m guessin even fiddlers got to lay it down
D F#m
Fiddlers must get thirsty, I’ll bet you half a
F#m E
crown
D A
Fiddlers must get hungry, fiddling in their
Nest
F#m E
Get me half a Crown I’ll do the rest
Til then I’m
Cravn Violin Static
Cravn Violin Static
Cravn Violin Static
Cravn Violin Statiiiiiic
