I agree with guest Jon of 03 Jul 05 - 08:05 PM about the chords given.

I use the same tune he linked to at folkinfo.org but transposed down a tone to C (otherwise goes too high). It's also the tune used by Maddy Prior on "Hang up Sorrow and Care" which is presumably the album the OP got it from.

It's a cheerful major key tune and all those minor chords seem to me out of keeping with the character of the tune.

The chords I use are:

There [C] was a jovial Beggar, he had a wooden [G] Leg;
[C] Lame from his Cradle, and [G7] forcéd for to [C] Beg.

And [G] a Begging we will [C] go, we'll go, we'll go,
And [F] a Begging [G7] we will [C] go.
