AmMaj7
Pennies from heaven
Am7
Don’t make me laugh
Here all you’ll get
Am6
Is the pattering rain
F C/G
Or yon two crows up over the hill
G
Looking for winterkill
Am
Always at your boots
AmMaj7 Am7
The mud behind the byre
Am6
With its clammy hold
F
Would mock you up a grave
C/G G
Here in the mire of a wrecked sheepfold
C/G
And all you’ll bring to this
F C/G
Is muscle and grit
F C/G
Persistence, that’s just about it
What made you think
F
There’d be a living in sheep?
C/E F C/E F
Eat, work, eat, work and sleep
Am
Duck under the eaves
AmMaj7
Of the bothy
Am7 Am6 F
To sit here, caged by rain
Somewhere to go conjure
C
A next move
G
When I have to think again
Am
AmMaj7 Am7
The dog lifts his gaze to plead
Am6 F
Believes the wizard has a magic stick
C
Leans his weight into my tweed
G
I give an unholy hand to lick
C
I take a swig of sheep dip
F C
From my flask
F C
And once again I ask
What made you think
F
There’d be a living in sheep?
C F C F
Eat, work, eat, work and sleep

They were at this game
AmMaj7 Am7
Two hundred years ago
Had thirty ways
Am6 F
Of dying young, poor souls
C/G
Laid to rest in their soggy rows
G
Rain on their holy books
Am
AmMaj7
Blood and whisky
Am7
On the tongue
Am6 F
And no-one watching over anyone
C
No-one left but your stubborn one
G
And the crows and rooks
C
F C
Ah, the dying young
F C/G
Well I’m not done
F
You watch me and I’ll watch thee
C
I can still work for two men
F C
And drink for three
And I raise my flask
F C/G
To the clearing skies
To you, sweepers
F C/G
You carrion spies
F C/G
To scavenge and survive
F
If you can do it so can I
