[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I went up for my interview on the [G#m] fourth day of [C#m] July.
The personal man, he [G#] questioned me until I [C#m] nearly cried.
Made me fill in forms until I shook with fear
About the colour of my toilet roll and [G#] if my [C#m] cousin's queer.
Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chain.
And your piece of paper to [G#] say you left [C#m] here sane.
And if you've a son who wants [G#m] a good [C#m] career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work [G#m] for [C#m] a year.
_ _ _ _ He _ asked me how many [G#m] jobs I'd had [C#m] before.
He nearly had a heart attack when I answered four.
More jobs in twenty years, oh this can never be.
We only take on men. _ _ _ _
_ Your watch and the shackles for your chain.
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane.
And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and [G#] work for [C#m] a year.
_ _ _ He took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line.
This is where we buried the head, quick [G#m] stone [C#m] and in line.
And if you come to work for us in this [G#] you must [C#m] agree
That if you're going to die, please do [G#] it at [C#m] your tea break.
And your watch and the shackles for your chain.
And your piece of paper to [G#] say you [C#m] left here sane.
And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and [G#m] work for [C#m] a year. _ _ _ _
This story that you heard, you may think rather queer.
But it is the truth you'll be [G#] surprised [C#m] to hear.
I did not want no job upon the board.
I just wanted to take a broom and sweep _ _ _ the floor.
Your watch and the shackles for your chain.
_ And your piece of paper to say you left here sane.
And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and [G#] work for a [C#m] year.
