Am AmMaj7
Pennies from heaven
Don’t make me laughAm7
Here all you’ll get
Is the pAm6attering rain
Or yFon two crows up C/Gover the hill
Looking fGor winterkill
AmAlways at your boots
AmMaj7 Am7
The mud behind the byre
With its clAm6ammy hold
Would mFock you up a grave
Here C/Gin the mire of a wrGecked sheepfold
C/G
And all you’ll bring to this
Is mFuscle and grit C/G
Persistence, that’sF just about itC/G
What made you think
There’d be aF living in sheep?
EC/Eat, wFork, C/Eeat, work and slFeep
Am
Duck under the eaves
AmMaj7
Of the bothy
To sAm7it here, caged by rAm6ain F
Somewhere to go conjure
A nCext move
When I have to thGink again
Am
AmMaj7 Am7
The dog lifts his gaze to plead
Believes the wizard has a mAm6agic stick F
Leans his weight intoC my tweed
I give an unholy hGand to lick
I tCake a swig of sheep dip
FrFom my flask C
And once agFain I ask C
What made you think
There’d be aF living in sheep?
ECat, wFork, Ceat, work andF sleep

They were at this game
AmMaj7 Am7
Two hundred years ago
Had thirty ways
Of dying yAm6oung, poor souls F
Laid to rest in their sC/Goggy rows
Rain on their hGoly books
Am AmMaj7
Blood and whisky
On the tongue Am7
And no-one watching over Am6anyone F
No-one left but your stCubborn one
And the crGows and rooks
C
Ah, the dFying young C
Well FI’m not doneC/G
You watch me and FI’ll watch thee
I can stCill work for two men
And drFink for three C
And I raise my flask
To the clFearing skies C/G
To you, sweepers
You cFarrion spies C/G
To scavenge Fand survive C/G
If you can do it F so can I
