The next bit goes
(In Barre Chords:)
Be quiet katie there is someone at the hatch
G F G F G F G
You curse the darkness and I'll strike a match
F G F G F G
Undoing the latch I tripped on the scales and fell
Bm G Bm G
Just as someone hit the reception bell
Am Cm
The ghost of that injury still remains, my ankle starts to swell just
G F G F G F G F G F G F
before it rains
G F G
leaders of nations, wild alsations, crumbling foundations,
Bm G Bm G Am
I've lost my patience
D
These big companies are giving us the squeeze
Am C Am C
Lets raise our glasses to mr. onassis
D
Protection racket (hand over the packet)
G D C
Rome needs cement (in this event)
G D C
Go over to the till katie (the national)

I forgot to mention that grandmas pension
Will ease the rent book tension
The rest of the song follows a regular pattern, and you should figure out the
strumming pattern. I've tabbed everything you need to know.
A little birdie told me you've been syphoning the poor box
I heard the knitting circle disscusing chubb locks
Whats all the commotion? what do they expect?
With no sign of a promotion I've lost my self respect
You see I built this heap from scratch when I was poor
now they're asking me to hoover the floor
Splash some water over me slap round the face
Did I miss a meeting I don't recognise the place
The plug in the socket burns a hole in the pocket
These big companies are giving us the squeeze
Lets raise our glasses to mr. onassis
Protection racket (hand over the packet)
Rome needs cement (in this event)
Go over to the till katie (the national)
Pay this man his rent
