Am                     AmMaj7
Pennies from heaven
                     Am7Don’t make me laugh
Here all you’ll get 
        Am6Is the pattering rain
    F               C/GOr yon two crows up over the hill
         GLooking for winterkill

AmAlways at your boots
     AmMaj7              Am7The mud behind the byre 
           Am6With its clammy hold 
       FWould 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/GIs muscle and grit
                     F             C/GPersistence, that’s just about it
What made you think
              FThere’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  FTo sit here, caged by rain
Somewhere to go conjure
   CA next move
                 GWhen I have to think again

Am
                   AmMaj7        Am7The dog lifts his gaze to plead
                           Am6         FBelieves the wizard has a magic stick
                     CLeans his weight into my tweed
                  GI give an unholy hand to lick

   CI take a swig of sheep dip 
  F            CFrom my flask
           F          CAnd once again I ask
What made you think
              FThere’d be a living in sheep?
 C    F    C            FEat, work, eat, work and sleep

They were at this game 
             AmMaj7    Am7Two hundred years ago
Had thirty ways
          Am6               FOf dying young, poor souls
                       C/GLaid to rest in their soggy rows
               GRain on their holy books

Am                  AmMaj7
Blood and whisky 
               Am7On the tongue
                         Am6     FAnd no-one watching over anyone
                       CNo-one left but your stubborn one
          GAnd the crows and rooks


C
         F           CAh, the dying young 
     F             C/GWell I’m not done
                 FYou watch me and I’ll watch thee 
        CI can still work for two men
      F              CAnd drink for three
And I raise my flask
         F             C/G To the clearing skies
To you, sweepers 
     F             C/GYou carrion spies
            F            C/GTo scavenge and survive
                  FIf you can do it     so can I
