[Intro]
|Em |Em |Em |Em |Em |Em |Em D|Em D Em |
[Verse 1]
Em On the first day of march it was raining Am It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen G I drank ten pints of beer and I cursed all the people there Em And I wish that all this raining would stop falling down on me
[Chorus]
G D And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink G D Em And mother wake me early in the morning
[Verse 2]
Em At the time I was working for a landlord Am And he was the meanest bastard that you have ever seen G And to lose a single penny would grieve him awful sore Em And he was a miserable bollocks and a bitch's bastard's whore
[Chorus]
G D And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink G D Em And mother wake me early in the morning
[Verse 3]
Em I recall that we took care of him one Sunday Am We got him out the back and we broke his fucking balls G And maybe that was dreaming and maybe that was real Em But all I know is I left the place without a penny or fuck all
[Chorus]
G D And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink G D Em And mother wake me early in the morning
[Verse 4]
Em But now I've the most charming of verandahs Am I sit and watch the junkies, the drunks and pimps and whores G Five green bottles are sitting on the floor Em I wish to Christ, I wish to Christ that I had fifteen more
[Chorus]
G D And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink G D Em And mother wake me early in the morning
(Repeat Banjo part)
[Instrumental]
|Em |Em |Em |Em |Em |Em |Em D|Em D Em |
[Chorus]
G D And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink G D Em And mother wake me early in the morning
[Verse 5]
Em The boys and me are drunk and looking for you Am We'll eat your frigging entrails and we won't give a damn G Me daddy was a blueshirt and my mother a madam Em My brother earned his medals at Mỹ Lai in Vietnam
[Chorus]
G D And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink G D Em And mother wake me early in the morning
[Verse 6]
Em On the first day of march it was raining Am It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen G Stay on the other side of the road 'cause you can never tell Em We've a thirst like a gang of devils we're the boys from the county hell
[Chorus]
G D And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink G D Em And mother wake me early in the morning G D And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink G D Em And mother wake me early in the morning
