Am
Pennies from heaven
Don?t make me laugh Am7
Here all you?ll get
Is the pattering rain
Or yFon two crows up C/Gover the hill
Looking fGor winterkill
AmAlways at your boots
The mud behind the byre Am7
With its clammy hold
Would mFock you up a grave
Here C/Gin the mire of a wrGecked sheepfold
C/G
And all you?ll bring to this
Is mFuscle and grit C/G
Persistence, that?s jFust about it C/G
What made you think
There?d be a lFiving in sheep?
EC/Eat, wFork, C/Eeat, work and slFeep
Am
Duck under the eaves
Of the bothy
To sAm7it here, caged by rain F
Somewhere to go conjure
A nCext move
When I have to thGink again
Am
The dog lifts his gaze to plead Am7
Believes the wizard has a magic stick F
Leans his weight intoC my tweed
I give an unholy hGand to lick
I tCake a swig of sheep dip
FrFom my flask C
And once agFain I ask C
What made you think
There?d be a lFiving in sheep?
ECat, wFork, Ceat, work andF sleep

Am
Am
They were at this game
Two hundred years ago Am7
Had thirty ways
Of dying young, poor souls F
Laid to rest in their sC/Goggy rows
Rain on their hGoly books
Am
Blood and whisky
On the tongue Am7
And no-one watching over anyone F
No-one left but your stCubborn one
And the crGows and rooks
C
Ah, the dFying young C
Well FI?m not done C/G
You watch me and FI?ll watch thee
I can stCill work for two men
And drFink for three C
And I raise my flask
To the clFearing skies C/G
To you, sweepers
You cFarrion spies C/G
To scavenge Fand survive C/G
If you can do it F so can I
