Corries - The bricklayers song

Dear ^CSir I write this note to you to t^Gell you of my pl^Cight For ^Fat the time of wri^Cting it, I^G'm not a pretty sight My b^Fody is all b^Clack and blue, my f^Face a deathly gr^Amey And I wr^Cite this note to say why I am n^Got at work to^Cday

While wo^Crking on the fourteenth floor some br^Gicks I had to cl^Cear But to^Fssing them down from s^Cuch a height w^Gas not a good idea The for^Feman wasn't v^Cery pleased, he ^Fis an awkward ^Amsod And he sa^Cid I had to cart them down the la^Gdders in me h^Cod

Well cle^Caring all these bricks by hand, it w^Gas so very s^Clow So I hois^Fted up a ba^Crrel and se^Gcured a rope below But ^Fin me haste to d^Co the job, I w^Fas too blind to ^Amsee That a ba^Crrel full of building bricks was he^Gavier than ^Cme

And s^Co when I untied the rope the ba^Grrel fell like l^Cead And cli^Fnging tightly ^Cto the rope, I sta^Grted up instead I sho^Ft up like a r^Cocket, and to ^Fmy dismay I f^Amound That ha^Clfway up I met the bloody ba^Grrel coming d^Cown

Well the ba^Crrel broke me shoulder, as ^Gto the ground it s^Cped And w^Fhen I reached the ^Ctop I banged the pu^Glley with me head But I c^Flung on tightly nu^Cmb with shock from t^Fhis almighty b^Amlow While the ba^Crrel spilled out half its bricks some four^Gteen floors bel^Cow

^CWhen these bricks had fallen from the ba^Grrel to the fl^Coor I th^Fen outweighed the ba^Crrel and so sta^Grted down once more But I cl^Fung on tightly to t^Che rope me b^Fody racked with p^Amain And ha^Clfway down I met the bloody b^Garrel once a^Cgain

Now the fo^Crce of this collision halfway do^Gwn the office blo^Cck Ca^Fused multiple abr^Casions and a nas^Gty case of shock But I cl^Fung on tightly to t^Che rope as I f^Fell towards the gro^Amund And I la^Cnded on the broken bricks the ba^Grrel had scattered ro^Cund.

Now ^Cas I lay there on the ground I tho^Gught I'd passed the w^Corst But the ba^Frrel hit the pu^Clley wheel and th^Gen the bottom burst A sh^Fower of bricks rained do^Cwn on me I d^Fidn't have a h^Amope As I l^Cay there bleeding on the ground I let ^Ggo of the bloody rope^C

The ba^Crrel now being heavier so sta^Grted down once m^Core It la^Fnded right acr^Coss me as I l^Gay there on the floor It b^Froke three ribs and m^Cy left arm and ^FI can only s^Amay I h^Cope you`ll understand why I am n^Got at work t^Coday
