[Intro]

|Em  D|Em  D  Em |

       Em
On the first day of march it was 
raining
It was raining worse than anything 
     Am
that I have ever seen
I drank ten pints of beer and I 
G
cursed all the people there
And I wish that all this raining 
                           Em
would stop falling down on me

         G                         
And it's lend me ten pounds and 
            D
I'll buy you a drink
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
    G              D            
And mother wake me early in the 
Em
morning

At the time I was working for a 
landlord
And he was the meanest bastard that 
you have ever seen
And to lose a single penny would 
grieve him awful sore
And he was a miserable bollocks and 
a bitch's bastard's whore

Chorus

I recall that we took care of him 
one Sunday
We got him out the back and we broke
 his fucking balls
And maybe that was dreaming and 
maybe that was real
But all I know is I left the place 
without a penny or fuck all

Chorus

And now I've the most charming of 
verandahs
I sit and watch the junkies, the 
drunks and pimps and whores
Five green bottles are sitting on 
the floor
And I wish to Christ I wish to 
Christ that I had fifteen more

Chorus

(Repeat Banjo part)

[Instrumental]

|Em  |Em  |Em  |Em  |Em  |Em  

|Em  D|Em  D  Em |

Chorus

The boys and me are drunk and 
looking for you
We'll eat your frigging entrails and
 we won't give a damn
Me daddy was a blueshirt and my 
mother a madam
My brother earned his medals at Mỹ 
Lai in Vietnam
