Tom: G

G          C        Bm7           Em
Six in the morning, don't want to wake
G          C           Em             C
Sun laying low and the world sleeping late
G             C           Bm7       Em
Hate like the river, runs heavy and deep
     G                C           D           G
Oh I wish that they'd sack me and leave me to sleep

G C G D (x2)

G              C         Bm7           Em
Five days from seven the week's hardly mine
    G                 C       Em    C
The alarm clocks gone over to enemy lines
G             C           Bm7         Em
Waste my time working for cowards and creeps
     G                C           D           G
Oh I wish that they'd sack me and leave me to sleep

D                        Em
Rain strikes the window, heralds the day
C                                      D
Rain won't you wash these eight hours away?
G              C           Bm7       Em
Rain feeds the river, runs heavy and deep
     G                C           D           G
Oh I wish that they'd sack me and leave me to sleep

G C G D (x2)

G           C      Bm7         Em
Birds at my window sing in the dawn
       G             C             Em          C
By the time that I'm home all this day will be gone
G             C           Bm7         Em
Spend my life sowing what others will reap
     G                C           D           G
Oh I wish that they'd sack me and leave me to sleep

D                        Em
Rain strikes the window, heralds the day
C                                      D
Rain won't you wash these eight hours away?
G              C           Bm7       Em
Rain feeds the river, runs heavy and deep 
     G                C           D           G
Oh I wish that they'd sack me and leave me to sleep
