Chord/Tab song: Mr Lacey

Fairport Convention - Mr. Lacey
(Original by Ashley Hutchings)
(What we did on our Holidays - 1969)

Okay, this is where Rock and Roll meets Folk.
For the Rhythm Guitar you need the Basic Rockandroll-Riff:

[G]Please, Mr. Lace[C]y, l[G]et me work your loving machine
[C]Please, Mr. Lacey, [G]let me work your loving machine
D (strum and stop)
Will you let me control the handles?
C (strum and stop) D/C/G/D
You know it's the best thing I've ever seen

Well, Mr. Lacey, where'd you learn just what to do?
Well, Mr. Lacey, where'd you learn just what to do?
Can you fix me up now with a teacher?
I wanna become an inventor too

Why, Mr. Lacey, why d'you do the things you do?
Why, Mr. Lacey, why d'you do the things you do?
It's true no one here understands now
But maybe someday they'll catch up with you
