Tune to DADGAD.
[Intro]:
A A7 A A7
[verse]:
Well, I'd Dsay I'm in a pickle,
me caGshflow doesn't trickle,
there's nDothing in my pocket except liAnt.
There's no bDread for me butter,
me bGest friend is the gutter.
Do ye Dget the bloody piActures boys, I'm skDint!
[chorus]:
I'm sAhort a couple'a bob,
since I stDarted on the grog,
DI've seen better days for sAure.
I'm sGhort a couple'a bob,
me hDead it's all a throb,
DI've seen bAetter days for sDure.
[verse]:
I spend me mDornin' clippin' coupons,
sGince I got me scoop on,
the chDurchmouse is a rich man and I'm nAot.
But I aDin't a down-and-out, see,
the tGrain just left without me.
DI don't own a smAidgen or a jDot!
[chorus]:
I'm sAhort a couple'a bob,
sDince I lost me job.
DI've seen better days for sAure,
I'm shGort a couple'a bob,
and I've run oDut of stuff to flog,
DI've seen beAtter days for sDure.
here we go!
[break]:
D A D A G D A D
D A D A G D A D
[verse]:
Well, the Dpot that I would piss in,
It's tempGorarily missin',
I'm not a pDauper I'm just pAoor.
And I'm rDeally not that miserable,
though me lGack of funds is considerable,
The Dwolf is selling crAackers at the dDoor.
[chorus]:
I'm shAort a couple'a bob,
I eat my chDips without the cod,
DI've seen better days for sAure.
I'm shGort a couple'a bob,
there's no cDorn on me cob.
DI've seen bAetter days for sDure.
[verse]:
Well, that sDilver spoon of mine,
got stGuck where the sun don't shine.
My foDrtune went away and doesn't caAll.
I've really fDallen on hard times,
and I've jGust run out of rhymes,
so I betDter finish quiAckly while I cDan...
stDill...finish.
[chorus]:
shAort a couple'a bob, there's Dno bricks in me hod,
DI've seen better days for sAure.
I'm shGort a couple'a bob,
I'm not the mDan you want to rob.
DI've seen beAtter days for sDure.
DI've seen beAtter days for sDure.
DI've seen beAtter days for sDure.
