There was a knockin' at my door
CmGm
It's the dreaded landlord
CmGmDmGm
He wants his rent and wants it now, he is careless how
EbBbCmDmCm
He left us in a vacant daze, asking how we got here.
GmDmAmGm
And we retired to slumber but, the glasses never were rinsed.
Gm
There was a tappin' on my back
CmGm
It's the dreaded foreman
CmGmDmGm
I think I see a smile through his teeth and his cigar
EbBbCmDmCm
He put my hands to work otherwise do nothin'
GmDmAmGm
And I made a thousand things today, I'm sure I'll never use.
Gm
There was a ringin' on my phone
CmGmDmGm
I picked it up to answer, they said they were my comrade.
EbBb
But they couldn't say my name
EbBb
So I asked them about the sun and moon
CmDmCm
And what their thoughts on time were
GmDmAmGm
They hung it up in madness and went on to punch the clock
CmGm
And somewhere there's a sound of someone singing
DmGm
I got an invitation once to liberty
EbGm
They had a mischief brew but, not goblets were used
AmAmBbAm
Besting rum or porter 'tis a liquor never brewed.
Never brewed...
GmGmCmGmGm
Na na na...
Gm
There was a knockin' at my door
CmGm
It's the dreaded policemen
DmGm
He had a ticket to enter signed by fools of Sanford laws
EbBbCmDmCm
And he questioned me on politics and scored my generation
GmDmAmGm
For not respecting elders and lands authority
Gm
When the landlord came to knock,
CmGm
I said "Come back tomorrow
CmGmBb
There's more life I'll be living than just slaving for your wage
EbBb
And to the troop and foreman.
EbBbAm
Make yourself the things I don't use.
GmDmAmGm
For I'm off into the forest for a liquor never brewed!"
CmGm
And somewhere there's a sound of someone singing
DmGm
I got an invitation once to liberty
EbGm
They had a mischief brew but, not goblets were used
AmAmBbAm
Besting rum or porter 'tis a liquor never brewed.
