     D
Well, I'd say I'm in a pickle,
   G
me cashflow doesn't trickle,
     D              A
there's nothing in my pocket except lint.
      D
There's no bread for me butter,
  G
me best friend is the gutter.
   D        A         D
Do ye get the bloody pictures boys, I'm skint!

chorus::

   A
I'm short a couple'a bob,
     D
since I started on the grog,
D             A
I've seen better days for sure.
   G
I'm short a couple'a bob,
  D
me head it's all a throb,
D     A        D
I've seen better days for sure.

verse::

      D
I spend me mornin' clippin' coupons,
 G
since I got me scoop on,
   D                A
the churchmouse is a rich man and I'm not.
    D
But I ain't a down-and-out, see,
   G
the train just left without me.
D        A      D
I don't own a smidgen or a jot!

chorus::

   A
I'm short a couple'a bob,
 D
since I lost me job.
D             A
I've seen better days for sure,
   G
I'm short a couple'a bob,
       D
and I've run out of stuff to flog,
D      A       D
I've seen better days for sure.

here we go!

verse::

     D
Well, the pot that I would piss in,
     G
It's temporarily missin',
      D        A
I'm not a pauper I'm just poor.
     D
And I'm really not that miserable,
      G
though me lack of funds is considerable,
  D         A       D
The wolf is selling crackers at the door.

chorus::

   A
I'm short a couple'a bob,
      D
I eat my chips without the cod,
D             A
I've seen better days for sure.
   G
I'm short a couple'a bob,
      D
there's no corn on me cob.
D     A        D
I've seen better days for sure.

verse::

      D
Well, that silver spoon of mine,
   G
got stuck where the sun don't shine.
   D               A
My fortune went away and doesn't call.
       D
I've really fallen on hard times,
     G
and I've just run out of rhymes,
    D       A       D
so I better finish quickly while I can...
 D
still...finish.

chorus::

 A              D
short a couple'a bob, there's no bricks in me hod,
D             A
I've seen better days for sure.
   G
I'm short a couple'a bob,
       D
I'm not the man you want to rob.
D      A       D
I've seen better days for sure.
D      A       D
I've seen better days for sure.
D      A       D
I've seen better days for sure.
