The Table - by The Beautiful South

Verse 1:

   C majorC        G+G   A minorAm
This table has four sturdy legs
  C majorC   G+G       A minorAm
A augmentedA heart of very near wild oak
   FF         G+G      C majorC    A minorAm
When others would have screamed out loud my friend
FF    G+G      C majorC   C majorC (let ring)
This one never even spoke

CHORUS

     FF    G+G        C majorC     A minorAm
I've been sat upon oohh, I've been spat upon oohh
     FF
I've been treated like a bed
   G+G
Been carried like a stretcher,
   A minorAm
when someone thinks they're dead
     FF     G+G        C majorC     A minorAm
I've been dined upon oohh, I've been wined upon oohh
     FF
I've been taken for a fool
G+G
Taken for a desk,
      C majorC
when they should have been at school

Verse 2:

This table's been pushed against the door
When tempers, well tempers, flare at night
Banged upon with knuckles clenched my friend
When someone thinks that they are right

CHORUS
I've been sat upon, I've been spat upon
I've been treated like a bed
Been carried like a stretcher,
when someone thinks they're dead
I've been dined upon, I've been wined upon
I've been taken for a fool
Taken for a desk,
when they should have been at school

Bridge:

C majorC      FF        C majorC
Tables only turn when tables learn
C majorC      FF         G+G
Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn
C majorC         FF       C majorC        A minorAm
Treat me with some dignity, don't treat me like a slave
    C majorC       FF   G+G    C majorC
Or I'll turn into the coffin in your grave

CHORUS
I've been sat upon, I've been spat upon
I've been treated like a bed
Been carried like a stretcher,
when someone thinks they're dead
I've been dined upon, I've been wined upon
I've been taken for a fool
Taken for a desk,
when they should have been at school

Bridge:

Tables only turn when tables learn
Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn
Treat me with some dignity, don't treat me like a slave
Or I'll turn into the coffin in your grave
