[Intro]
A D A A D E D A E A D E A [Verse]
A The rain is falling on the site,
D A
the tea's upon the brew, A D We're sittin' on our arseholes
E
with bugger-all to do. D Outside our picks and shovels lads,
A E
they slowly rust away. A D We're rained off and contented on
E A
four pounds a day. [Chorus]
A Four pounds a day my lads and
D A
nothing much to do, A D No trouble from the foreman
E
he's in the union too. D Some want the rain to go to Spain
A E
we want the rain to stay. A D We're rained off and contented on
E A
four pounds a day. [Verse]
A It's early in the morning,
D A
we start at ten o'clock, A D We search the skies impatiently,
E
Bejays! I felt a drop. D The can lads are on bonus and
A E
each brew means better pay. A D We're rained off and contented on
E A
four pounds a day. [Chorus]
A Four pounds a day my lads and
D A
nothing much to do, A D No trouble from the foreman
E
he's in the union too. D Some want the rain to go to Spain
A E
we want the rain to stay, A D We're rained off and contented on
E A
four pounds a day. [Verse]
A So Freddie get the cards out,
D A
the racing page as well, A D And as for the contractors
E
we hope they go to heck. D It looks as if the rain's set in,
A E
we shan't do much today. A D What matter if on Friday
E A
we all draw our pay. [Chorus]
A Four pounds a day my lads and
D A
nothing much to do, A D No trouble from the foreman
E
he's in the union too. D Some want the rain to go to Spain
A E
we want the rain to stay. A We're rained off and
D E A
contented on four pounds a day.
