[Intro 1]
[Em]
[D]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
On the [Em]first day of March,
it was raining
It was raining worse than any
[Am]thing that I have ever seen
I drank ten pints of beer and
[G]I cursed all the people there
And I wish that all this raining would
stop falling down on [Em]me

[Verse 2]
And it's [G]lend me ten pounds,
I'll buy you [D]a drink
And [G]mother, [D]wake me early in the [Em]morning

[Verse 3]
At the [Em]time, I was working for a landlord
And he was the meanest bastard
that [Am]you have ever seen
And to lose a single penny would
[G]grieve him awful sore
And he was a miserable bollocks and
a bitch's bastard's [Em]whore

[Verse 4]
And it's [G]lend me ten pounds,
I'll buy you [D]a drink
And [G]mother,
wake me [D]early in the [Em]morning

[Verse 5]
[Em]I recall we took care of him one Sunday
We got him out the back and
we [Am]broke his fucking balls
And maybe that was dreaming
and [G]maybe that was real
But all I know is I left that place
without a penny or fuck [Em]all

[Verse 6]
And it's [G]lend me ten pounds,
I'll buy you [D]a drink
And [G]mother, wake me [D]early in the [Em]morning

[Verse 7]
But [Em]now I've the most
charming of verandahs
I sit and watch the junkies, the [Am]drunks,
the pimps, the whores
Five green bottles sit[G]ting on the floor
I wish to Christ,
I wish to Christ that I had fifteen [Em]more

[Verse 8]
And it's [G]lend me ten pounds,
I'll buy you a [D]drink
And [G]mother, [D]wake me early
in the [Em]morning

[Interlude 1]
[Em][D][Em]

[Verse 9]
And it's [G]lend me ten pounds,
I'll buy you [D]a drink
And [G]mother [D]wake me early
in [Em]the morning

[Verse 10]
[Em]The boys and me are drunk
and looking for you
We'll eat your frigging entrails
and [Am]we won't give a damn
Me daddy was a blue shirt
and my [G]mother a madam
My brother earned his medals
at Mai Lei in Viet[Em]nam

[Verse 11]
And it's [G]lend me ten pounds
and I'll buy [D]you a drink
And [G]mother,
wake me [D]early in the [Em]morning

[Verse 12]
On the [Em]first day of March, it was raining
It was raining worse than anything
that [Am]I have ever seen
Stay on the other side of the road
'cause [G]you can never tell
We've a thirst like a gang of devils,
we're the boys of the County [Em]Hell
[G]And it's

[Verse 13]
lend me ten pounds
and I'll buy [D]you a drink
And [G]mother, [D]wake me early in the [Em]morning

[Verse 14]
And it's [G]lend me ten pounds
and I'll buy you a [D]drink
And [G]mother, wake me [D]early in the [Em]morning
