Jimmy Newman

    E                   A          
Get up Jimmy Newman the morning is 
E
come
The engine's are rumbling the 
F            E
coffee's all brewed
                            A      
Get up Jimmy Newman there's work to
    E
 be done
    F                         
And why do you lie there still 
 B
sleeping
          E                       
There's a waiting line forming to 
A
use the latrine
        E                       B
And the sun is just opening the sky
    E                              
The breakfast they're serving just 
A         E
has to be seen
           F                 E
And you've only to open your eyes
                       A       E
Get up Jimmy Newman my radio's on
                             F   
The news is all bad but it's good 
       E
for a laugh
                               A   
The tent flap is loose and the peg 
        E
must be gone

Why do you lie there still sleeping

And she tells us such beautiful lies
    E                     
Her uniform's tight on her 
 A          E

F             E
