Old Brock (originally by Tim Brooks)

When the fox slinks silent from his lair,
Em      G      D       Em
The robin sings a final air,
    Em    D      G     Em
And the moonlight wakes the sleeping hare,
       C          G        D       G
Its then we take our part..
Em           D       Em

Down in the dark where no-one can see us,
Em           G          D          Em
Down in the dark through the sand and the loam,
Em           G                D            G
Down in the dark where no-one can hear us,
Em           G          D          Em
Old Brock he's a digging, digging, digging.
     C          G          D          Em
Old Brock he's a digging, digging his home.
     C          G          D          Em
When the fox slinks silent from his lair,
The robin sings a final air,
And the moonlight wakes the sleeping hare,
Its then we take our part..

Down in the dark where no-one can see us,
Down in the dark through the sand and the loam,
Down in the dark where no-one can hear us,
Old Brock he's a digging, digging, digging.
Old Brock he's a digging, digging his home.


We spend the daytime in the deep
Then walk abroad, while others sleep.
We to ourselves our counsel keep,
For that's our ancient way.....

Chorus

One by one we venture out,
For any danger cast about.
Then turn again if there's any doubt,
For time is on our side......

Chorus

There's no top table in our hall,
We favour none but care for all.
If you can't climb then you can't fall,
And so we keep our law......


Chorus
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...
