[Intro 1]
[F][G][Am][F][G][Am]
[F][G][C][Am][F][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[F]This
table has [G]four sturdy leg[Am]s
[F]And a heart of [G]very near wild [Am]oak
When [F]others would have
[G]screamed out [C]loud [Am]my friend
[F]This one [G]never even [C]spoke

[Verse 2]
I've been [F]sat upon,
[G]I've bee[Am]n spat upon
I've been [F]treated like a bed
Been [G]carried like a stretcher,
[C]when someone thinks
[Am]they're dead
I've been [F]dined upon,
[G]I've been win[Am]ed upon
I've been [F]taken for a fool
[G]Taken for a desk,
when they [C]should have been
[Am]at school
[F][G][Am][F][G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
This [F]table's been [G]pushed
against [Am]the door
When tem[F]pers,
well tem[G]pers flare [Am]at night
[F]Banged [G]upon with knuckles
[C]clenched [Am]my friend
[F]When someone [G]think
s that they [C]are right

[Verse 4]
I've been [F]sat upon,
[G]I'v[Am]e been spat upon
I've been [F]treated like a bed
Been [G]carried like a stretcher,
[C]when someone thinks
[Am]they're dead
I've been [F]dined upon,
[G]I've been win[Am]ed upon
I've been [F]taken for a fool
[G]Taken for a desk,
when they [C]should have been [Am]at school

[Verse 5]
[C]Tables only [F]turn when tables [C]learn
Put me on a bon[F]fire, watch [G]me burn
[C]Treat me with some [F]dignity,
don't [C]treat me like [F]a slave
Or [C]I'll turn into [F]the coffin
in [C]your grave

[Verse 6]
I've been [F]sat upon,
[G]I'v[Am]e been spat upon
I've been [F]treated like a bed
Been [G]carried like a stretcher,
[C]when someone thinks
[Am]they're dead
I've been [F]dined upon,
[G]I've been win[Am]ed upon
I've been [F]taken for a fool
[G]Taken for a desk,
when they [C]should have been [Am]at school

[Verse 7]
[C]Tables only [F]turn when [C]tables learn
Put me on a bon[F]fire, watch [G]me burn
[C]Treat me with some [F]dignity,
don't [C]treat me like [F]a slave
Or I'll [C]turn into [F]the coffin in [C]your grave
