Hallelujah!
[A] [N]
[E]
[B] [E] Give me a hand out and you'll be my friend.
I went to a house and I knocked on the door.
The lady [C#m] come out [B] said, you've been here before.
[E] She gives it a whistle [A] and I run for [E] my life.
How [C#m] wouldn't you know [A] it's the [E] constable's wife.
Hallelujah!
I'm a bum.
Hallelujah!
[B] Bum's a [E] dick.
Hallelujah!
Give me a hand out and you'll be my friend.
I woke up one morning feeling just fine.
Got me [C#m] a [A] ride on the Santa [E] Fe line.
Starts getting weary, [A] oh [E] I know.
Shhh.
I'm bored in the hour.
Why don't you settle down and get you a wife.
I'd rather be a bum [F#m] for the rest [B] of my life.
[E] You'll never get [G#] [A] by just bumming [E] around.
You'll never [C#m] get happy by [E] working a pound.
Hallelujah!
I'm a bum.
Hallelujah!
[B] Bum's a dick.
[E] Hallelujah!
Give me a hand out and you'll be my friend.
If I had a dollar I'd do as a please.
I'd get me some powder [F#m] for [B] roaches and fleas.
[E] I'd get me a boxcar [A] and fill [E] it with cats.
And never [C#m] be bothered [E] with toenibbling rats.
So now I went to college, but it didn't work out.
The things that I like they [F#m] don't teach [B] you about.
[E]
Hallelujah!
I'm a bum.
Hallelujah!
Bum's a dick.
Hallelujah!
Give me a hand out and you'll be my friend.
Now why don't you work like some other men do.
I'd rather just [F#m] sing if it's [B] alright with you.
[E] If you had a job [A] then you'd be [E] my honey.
I wouldn't [C#m] need you if [A] I [E] had lots of money.
Well if I had my way I'd just travel about.
And sing for my supper [F#m] when I'm done and out.
[E] You might get to heaven, [A] but don't [E] hold your breath.
We've all heard you sing in the first number.
Hallelujah!
I'm a bum.
Hallelujah!
[B] Bum's a dick.
