Tuning:Standard - Capo 6th

Ok, so this is a very simple song. On the E and A chords you only play the
top four strings. Also he uses the same strumming pattern throughout the
whole song (except for the B57 on the bridge)and here it is.

  t   i   t   i           t=thumb i=index
e|----------------|
B|----------------|
G|----x-------x---|
D|----x-------x---|
A|x---------------|
E|--------x-------|

~VERSE~

E                          A                   E
Robin Hood and Little John walkin' through the forest
E                                   B5              E
Laughin' back-'n'-forth at what the other'ne has to say
E                             A             E
Reminiscin' this-'n'-that an' havin' such a good time
E                       B5           E
Oo-De-Lally Oo-De-Lally golly what a day

~BRIDGE~
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/roger_miller/oo_de_lally_crd_ver_5.html ]
E
Never ever thinkin' there was danger in the water they were
A
Drinkin' they just guzzled it down
F#
Never dreamin' that a schemin' sheriff and his posse was a
B57
Watching them and gatherin' around

~VERSE~

E                          A                   E
Robin Hood and Little John runnin' through the forest
E                            B5            E
Jumpin' fences dodgin' trees tryin' to get away
E                          A               E
Contemplatin' nothin' but escapin' finally making it
E                       B5           E
Oo-De-Lally Oo-De-Lally golly what a day
E           A           B5           E
Oo-De-Lally Oo-De-Lally golly what a day

This last E does some faster strumming to end the song.
