C# G# In the boardroom the quiet man takes F# C# a second to think what to do F# C# He's out of his seat and he's starting G# to speak and he hears his own voice C# G# For years and years he's done nothing but bow down, F# C# and put up with all their demands F# C# She sits like a viper and offers the clock, G# without giving a damn he takes it Chorus: A#m G# "Honour forbids me, but honour be damned, F# C# you have whined till you got what you want F# C# I did the work and when things would go G# badly you left us to rot" "Honour forbids me, but honour be damned You have whined till you got what you want I did the work and when things would go badly You left us to rot" He locked the door of the boardroom And turned like the scene from the old country song Towering over the table, he's lost He is drunk with it all Chorus: You only came back to us when we'd turned it around When we'd rescued your arse from the fire Your contribution to all that we did Was to say it was dire Night after day after night, I've been working Despite of you fucking us all Now I'm gonna die, I don't care if you cry Just please leave me alone And spare those tears for yourself We've had those till we're sick You should leave while you still have the chance The others were shocked at this shameful disgrace At the end of an honoured career He paused in the silence to pull down his tie And observe the melee You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#m  C#  F#  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
