Fergus Laing chords by Richard Thompson

Chords with lyrics

verse 1

Chord diagramE minorEm                 Chord diagramD MajorD         Chord diagramE minorEm
Fergus Laing is a beast of a man
    Chord diagramG+G        Chord diagramA augmentedA       Chord diagramE minorEm
He stitches up and fleeces
                 Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramE minorEm
He wants to manicure the world
     Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramA augmentedA      Chord diagramE minorEm
And sell it off in pieces
Chord diagramG+G
He likes to build his towers high
      Chord diagramA augmentedA
He blocks the sun out of the sky
        Chord diagramB minorBm                        Chord diagramA augmentedA
In the penthouse the champagne's dry
              Chord diagramE minorEm
And slightly gassy

verse 2
Chord diagramE minorEm                 Chord diagramD MajorD       Chord diagramE minorEm
Fergus Laing, he works so hard
    Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramA augmentedA    Chord diagramE minorEm
As busy as a bee is
                  Chord diagramD MajorD         Chord diagramE minorEm
Fergus Laing has seventeen friends
Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramA augmentedA      Chord diagramE minorEm
All as dull as he is
     Chord diagramG+G
His seventeen friends have seventeen wives
Chord diagramA augmentedA
All the perfect shape and size
     Chord diagramB minorBm                             Chord diagramA augmentedA
They wag their tails and bat their eyes
           Chord diagramE minorEm
Just like Lassie


Chord diagramA augmentedA
Fergus Laing he builds and builds
                  Chord diagramE minorEm
Yet small is his erection
Chord diagramA augmentedA
Fergus Laing has a fine head of hair
                                Chord diagramE minorEm        Chord diagramD MajorD
When the wind's in the right direction
                            Chord diagramC majorC       Chord diagramB7B7
the wind's in the right direction

verse 3
Chord diagramE minorEm                    Chord diagramD MajorD         Chord diagramE minorEm
Fergus Laing and his seventeen friends
       Chord diagramG+G      Chord diagramA augmentedA    Chord diagramE minorEm
They live inside a bubble
                          Chord diagramD MajorD       Chord diagramE minorEm
There they withdraw and shut the door
    Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramA augmentedA        Chord diagramE minorEm
At any sign of trouble
Chord diagramG+G
Should the peasants wail and vent
     Chord diagramA augmentedA
And ask him where the money went
       Chord diagramB minorBm                        Chord diagramA augmentedA
He'll simply say, it's all been spent
           Chord diagramE minorEm
On being classy

verse 4
Chord diagramE minorEm                 Chord diagramD MajorD       Chord diagramE minorEm
Fergus' buildings reach the sky
       Chord diagramG+G      Chord diagramA augmentedA    Chord diagramE minorEm
Until you cannot see 'em
                        Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramE minorEm
He thinks the old stuff he pulls down
    Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramA augmentedA        Chord diagramE minorEm
Belongs in a museum
Chord diagramG+G
His own fair home is on the Park
    Chord diagramA augmentedA
an airy jewel, a city ark
Chord diagramB minorBm                             Chord diagramA augmentedA
Hung with Picasso, hung with Braque
              Chord diagramE minorEm
but nothing brassy
Chord diagramA augmentedA
Fergus Laing he builds and builds
                  Chord diagramE minorEm
Yet small is his erection
Chord diagramA augmentedA
Fergus Laing has a fine head of hair
                                Chord diagramE minorEm       Chord diagramD MajorD
When the wind's in the right direction
                            Chord diagramC majorC       Chord diagramB7B7   Chord diagramE minorEm
the wind's in the right direction

Alternate verse 4
     Chord diagramG+G
His fits are famous on the scene
      Chord diagramA augmentedA
The shortest fuse, so cruel, so mean
      Chord diagramB minorBm                    Chord diagramA augmentedA
But don't call him a drama queen
              Chord diagramE minorEm
Like Shirley Bassey


Chord diagramE minorEm                 Chord diagramD MajorD       Chord diagramE minorEm
Fergus Laing he flaunts the law
     Chord diagramG+G        Chord diagramA augmentedA       Chord diagramE minorEm
But one day he'll be wired
                     Chord diagramD MajorD       Chord diagramE minorEm
And as they drag him off to jail
       Chord diagramG+G        Chord diagramA augmentedA          Chord diagramE minorEm
We'll all shout, "You're fired!"
