[VERSE] G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 G D G G/F# Em7 A7 D D7 G G7 C A7 G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 G D G [CHORUS] D Cadd9 G G D Cadd9 G G D Cadd9 G G Am C D D G G/F# Em7 Will you still love me, will you still hug me, Cadd9 G D When I’m eighty four, G G/F# Em7 When I’ve been working all my life, A7 D D7 And I’m still bloody poor? G G7 Dust in my lungs, a broken back, C A7 Still can’t retire it hurts, G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 Well I’m all for workers’ rights and that, G D G As long as I don’t have to work, [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-king-blues/187684.html ] D Cadd9 G So hats off to the schemers, to the scroungers, to the rats, D Cadd9 G To the ones who sleep on mattresses on the floor, clutching baseball bats, D Cadd9 G To the beggars and the cheaters and the kings who rise at noon, Am C D To the scoundrels, the misfits, the parasites, this one’s for you, [NO GUITAR] “Don’t send me on another New Deal course, I can already spell my name, you lot take the piss” Maybe I’ll never shoot a rabbit, Perhaps I’ll never drink champagne, But that’s alright with me, I prefer cider anyway, I’m happy doing nothing, They tell me it’s all a waste, But I ain’t never seen no 3 piece suit, With a smile on his face, [CHORUS] [NO GUITAR] “I searched all the newspapers and made my CV, I swear there just ain’t nothing out there” A 9 to 5, 5 days a week, Is bottom of my list, I just couldn’t live with myself, Knowing there was something that I missed, So don’t go telling me “Take it seriously”, Believe me I do, But life’s for living, not for working, And I got better things to do, [CHORUS] [end on G, presumably]  |
