I Wish That Theyd Sack Me chords by Chumbawamba

Capo 1 (Chords relative to capo)

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

D (x2)

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

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

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

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