 Em On the first day of march it was raining Am It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen G I drank ten pints of beer and I cursed all the people there And I wish that all this raining would Em stop falling down on me Chorus: G D And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink G D Em And mother wake me early in the morning At the time, I was working for a landlord And he was the meanest bastard that you have ever seen And to lose a single penny would grieve him awful sore And he was a miserable bollocks and a bitch's bastard's whore Chorus I recall that we took care of him one Sunday We got him out the back and we broke his fucking balls And maybe that was dreaming and maybe that was real But all I know is I left the place without a penny or fuck all Chorus But now I've the most charming of verandas I sit and watch the junkies, the drunks, the pimps, the whores Five green bottles sitting on the floor I wish to Christ, I wish to Christ that I had fifteen more Chorus: And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink And mother wake me early in the morning And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink And mother, wake me early in the morning The boys and me are drunk and looking for you We'll eat your frigging entrails and we won't give a damn Me daddy was a blue shirt and my mother a madam And my brother earned his medals at My Lai in Vietnam Chorus: And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink And mother, wake me early in the morning On the first day of March, it was raining It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen Stay on the other side of the road, 'cause you can never tell We've a thirst like a gang of devils, we're the boys from the county hell Chorus: And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink And mother, wake me early in the morning And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink And mother, wake me early in the morning | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  D  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
