Chords with lyrics

Capo 1 (Chords relative to capo)

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

D MajorD (x2)

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

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

D MajorD (x2)
E minorEm
Birds at my window sing in the dawn
    C majorC
By the time that I'm home all this day will be gone
E minorEm
Spend my life sowing what others will reap
   G+G
Oh I wish that they'd sack me and leave me to sleep

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