1. So, together they set off for the Holy Land,

       C                                            Bb        C

    Robin Hood and Gisbourne, sword in hand.

            Dm                                      F

    But soon is was clear from the horrors of that place,

               C                                      Bb           C               Dm

    it was all about the money, and not God's loving embrance.

                       Bb                                  C            Bb                      C

    But on the road back home from Jerusalem Robin fell into a trap,

                 Bb                      C

    he was left for dead by Gisbourne's men,

                   Bb                      A

    and he won't be coming back.

 

   Dm                                                   Bb              C       Dm

Who would want to see him dead ? (His friend Guy of Gisbourne)

   Dm                                                               C                        Bb

Why would he want to see him dead ? (He wants to take his place)

   Dm                                                      Bb                     Dm

Why would he want to see him dead, Guy of Gisbourne is his friend ?

   Bb                                   C                           Dm

(He's no friend, he's the man with the double face) !

                Bb                  C       Dm 

He's the man with the double face !

2. And when Gisbourne returned to England's shores

                 C                                     Bb      C

    to be sherrif of Nottingham was his reward.

                 Dm                                  F

    And he tried everything to win Marian's hand,

                   C                       Bb         C         Dm   ~

    but she wanted no time, with this odious man.

                    Bb                                 C

    For his dream was to be Earl of Huntingdon

              Bb                          C

    with Marian there by his side.

                         Bb                                C

    And though Robin was gone, she would not agree.

            Bb                   A    - A7

    no matter how he tried.

                             Bb                                   C

+  And as they stood there before the memorial stone,

                    Bb                          C

    saying : Robin of Loxley is dead.

           Bb                                 C

    A stranger appeared in his raggedy clothes

             Bb                    A

    and this is what he said :

 

   Dm                                                   Bb               C        Dm

Who would want to see me dead ? (Your friend Guy of Gisbourne)

    Dm                                                             C                           Bb

Why would he want to see me dead ? (He wants to take your place)

     Dm                                                     C                      Dm

Why would he want to see me dead? Guy of Gisbourne is my friend

    Bb                                  C                           Dm

(He's no friend, he's the man with the double face !)

                 Bb                 C      Dm

He's the man with the double face !

 

                     Bb                 C      Dm

+  He's the man with the double face !

                     Bb                 C      Dm

    He's the man with the double face !

                     Bb                 C      Dm

    He's the man with the double face !

                     Bb                 C        D

    He's the man with the double face !
