Richard Thompson – Killing Jar (Guitar)

F
  My father was a judge, A solitary man,

Dm
  He beat me to cry, With the back of his hand.

F
  I played with my sisters, He said I played to rough,

Dm
  It seems to me son, I didn't beat you enough.

   G
No good________

                 Dm
They said i'm no good

   G
No good________

                      Dm
They said son your no good

F               
I went for my schooling, and I faced the wall,

Dm
"Tommy Burns" said the Teacher, can you hear me at all.

F
I sweep out the hallways, and I sweep out the grounds,

Dm
And the boss he tells me, that I'm late on my rounds.

   G
No good________

                  Dm
They say i'm no good

    G
No good________

                  Dm
They say i'm no good

F
I once had a songbird, with a broken wing,

Dm
I cried and cried, oh it never would sing

F
I once had a songbird, the apple of my eye,

Dm
I put it in the Killing Jar, Just to watch it die.

F
I once had a sweetheart, caught her running around,

Dm
I hit her with a log chain, and I put her in the ground.

F
I once had a sweetheart, Oh a pretty little thing,

Dm
I knelt in her cold grave, and I took back my ring.

|No good________  Dm
|They say i'm no good x4

    G                   Dm
No good________ I'm no good
