From Under The Covers

   Dm      Bb    F         C
It's six a.m. and even Big Ben
   Dm                Bb              F C
Is trying to get his head down for a kip
       Dm           Bb
But no sooner is it down
              F                C
And then it's on with dressing gown
         Dm        Bb           F  C
For this city very rarely loses grip
    F        C            Bb          C
But I have a friend who's never up by ten
    F       C         Bb         C
He's fast asleep with mouth open wide
     F             C              Bb           C
He's lost a lot of jobs, but he's won a lot of friends
      F        C      Bb              C
And he says to me, he cannot tell the time

   Dm        Bb           F               C
It's seven a.m. and we're coughing up the phlegm
Dm               Bb             F   C
Spitting out the taste of night before
          Dm              Bb
And we'll vomit and we'll choke
        F                 C
Just to climb their tatty rope
           Dm          Bb            F  C
Well this city has its charm and its claw
         F          C
And he'll blame his clock
         Bb                C
Or he'll say he's lost his socks
           F         C              Bb          C
And they'll tell you that he's been bitten by a snake
    F              C
His excuses are an art
         Bb            C
From the bottom of his heart
      F          C        Bb      C
And he thinks of them whenever he awakes

Dm  Am  Bb  F  C  Dm  C  F  x2

    Dm        Bb      F            C
It's eight a.m. we're on the road again
Dm           Bb             F C
Racing for a placing at the top
           Dm         Bb
And it says green for go
        F             C
For the people in the know
            Dm            Bb              F  C
But for the others all it says is red for stop

Dm  Bb  F  C  x4
     F             C
It's cold and it's damp
            Bb        C
And they've dug him a grave
       F       C    Bb                  C
And the ten fifteen merchant's still in bed
    F                 C
And scrawled upon the headboard
        Bb                  C
For the whole wide world to see is
F     C      Bb          C
"Died In The Arms Of Big Ted"
