_ On the first day of March it was raining.
_ It was raining worse than anything [Am] that I have ever seen.
I drank some pints of beer and [G] I cursed all of you all there.
I wished that all this rain would stop falling [Em] down on me.
[G] I'd have to lend me ten pounds to buy [D] you a drink.
[G] And my mother would [D] wake me early [Em] in the _ morning.
At the time I was working for a landlord. _
And he was the meanest bastard [Am] that you have ever seen.
And a single penny [G] would leave him awful sore.
And he was a miserable bollocks and a bitching bastard's whore.
I'd have to lend me ten pounds to [D] buy you a drink.
[G] And my [D] mother would wake me [Em] early in the morning. _
I recall that we took care of him once a night. _
We got him out the back [Am] and we broke his fucking balls.
And maybe that was dreaming [G] and maybe that was real.
But all I know is I left a face and a penny of a call.
And I'd have to lend me ten pounds to buy [D] you a drink.
[G] And my mother [D] would wake me early [Em] in the _ morning.
But now the north's curling up around us.
Let's sit and watch the [Am] junkies that drunk the pimp stores.
Five green bottles [G] sitting on the floor.
I wish to Christ, I wish to Christ that I had [Em] kept the law.
[G] And I'd have to lend me ten pounds to buy [D] you a drink.
[G] And [D] my mother would wake me early [Em] in the _ morning.

[G] And my mother [D] would wake me early [Em] in the morning.
Sucks boys when they are drunken looking for you. _
Well, eat your friggin' [Am] entrails and we won't give a damn.
Me daddy was a bloke, [G] shut up my mother, I'm a damn.
My brother earned his medals at my lay in [Em] Vietnam.
And [G] I'd have to lend me ten pounds to buy [D] you a drink.
[G] And my mother would wake [D] me early [Em] in the _ morning.
And the first light of night she was _ brightening.
It was brighter than [Am] anything that I had ever seen.
Stay on the other side [G] of the road, cause you can never tell.
We're a thrice-looking gang of devils, where the boys [Em] knock out the hell.
[G] And I'd have to lend me ten pounds to buy [D] you a drink.
[G] And my mother [D] would wake me early [Em] in the _ morning.
[G] And I'd have to lend me ten pounds to buy [D] you a drink.
