  			D  
Oh the grand old Duke of York  
     A 
He had ten thousand men  
     D                                 G  
He marched them up to the top of the hill  
       D                        A      D 
And he marched them down again 
      D  
And when they were up they were up  
      A 
And when they were down they were down 
      D                             G 
And when they were only half way up 
                D         A       D  
They were neither up nor down 

(repeat)
