goldwatch blues donovan
capo 4th fret
Am C C * Am
i went up for my interview on the fourth day of july .
Am C C * Am
personnel man he questioned me until i nearly cried ,
Am C C * Am
he made me fill in forms until i shook with fear
Am C C * Am
about the colour of my toilet roll and if my cousin’s queer .
chrous :
Am C C * Am
here’s your goldwatch and the shackles for your chain
Am C C * Am
and your piece of paper to say you left here sane .
Am C C * Am
and if you’ve a son who wants a good career
Am ( only one downstroke ) C Em Am
just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for fifty years .
he asked me how many jobs i’d had before .
he nearly had a heart attack when i answered , four .
four jobs in twenty years , oh , this can never be
we only take on men who work until they die .
chorus
he took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line .
this is where we bury them in quick – stone and in lime
and if you come to work for us on this you must agree ,
that if you’re going to die please do it during tea – break
chorus
this story that you heard you may think rather queer
but it is the truth you’ll be surprised to hear .
i did not want no job upon the board ,
i just wanted to take a broom and sweep the bloody floor .
chorus
Am = hammer your middle finger on the string now and then
C * = 020010 or Em
