Am
                     AmMaj7
Pennies from heaven
                     Am7
Don’t make me laugh
Here all you’ll get
        Am6
Is the pattering rain

    F               C/G
Or yon two crows up over the hill

         G
Looking for winterkill

Am
Always at your boots

     AmMaj7              Am7
The mud behind the byre 

           Am6
With its clammy hold 

       F
Would mock you up a grave

     C/G                G 
Here in the mire of a wrecked sheepfold
C/G And all you’ll bring to this
    F               C/G
Is muscle and grit

                     F             C/G
Persistence, that’s just about it
What made you think
              F
There’d be a living in sheep?

 C/E  F    C/E             F       
Eat, work, eat, work and sleep
Am Duck under the eaves AmMaj7 Of the bothy
    Am7                Am6  F
To sit here, caged by rain
Somewhere to go conjure
   C
A next move

                 G
When I have to think again
Am
                   AmMaj7        Am7
The dog lifts his gaze to plead

                           Am6         F
Believes the wizard has a magic stick

                     C
Leans his weight into my tweed

                  G
I give an unholy hand to lick

   C
I take a swig of sheep dip 

  F            C
From my flask

           F          C
And once again I ask
What made you think
              F
There’d be a living in sheep?

 C    F    C            F
Eat, work, eat, work and sleep

             AmMaj7    Am7
Two hundred years ago
Had thirty ways
          Am6               F
Of dying young, poor souls

                       C/G
Laid to rest in their soggy rows

               G
Rain on their holy books

Am
                  AmMaj7
Blood and whisky
               Am7
On the tongue

                         Am6     F
And no-one watching over anyone

                       C
No-one left but your stubborn one

          G
And the crows and rooks
C
         F           C
Ah, the dying young 

     F             C/G
Well I’m not done

                 F
You watch me and I’ll watch thee 

        C
I can still work for two men

      F              C
And drink for three
And I raise my flask
         F             C/G 
To the clearing skies
To you, sweepers
     F             C/G
You carrion spies

            F            C/G
To scavenge and survive

                  F
If you can do it     so can I
