Goldwatch blues
1. I went up for my
interview on the fourth day of July,
E Am
personnel man he
questioned me, till I nearly died.
E Am
Made me fill in forms, until I shook with
fear,
\ \ E Am
about the colour of my toilet-room and if
my cousin`s queer.
Here`s your goldwatch and the shackles for your chain,
\ E Am
and a piece of paper, saying that you left here
sane.
\
E Am
And if you have a son,
who wants a good career,
E Am
just get him to sign on the dotted line, and work
for fifty years.
2. He asked me how
many, jobs I`ve had before,
E Am
he nearly had a
heart-attack, when I answered : four!
\
E Am
Four jobs in twenty years, that can never
be,
E Am
we only take a
man, who`ll
work until he dies. + CHORUS
Am
E Am
3. He took me outside
to where the gravestones stand in line.
E Am
This is where we bury them, quick stone and
in lime.
E Am
And if you come to wok for us, this you
must agree,
\
E Am
that if you`re going to die, please do it during tea-break. +
CHORUS
Am E Am
4. This story that you`ve heard, you may think rather queer,
E Am
but it`s the
truth, you`d be surprised to hear.
E
Am
I didn`t really
want, a job upon the board,
\
E Am
I just wanted to take a broom, and sweep
the bloody floor. + CHORUS
