Chorus
D Cadd9 G G D Cadd9 G G D Cadd9 G G Am C D D
Verse
G G/F# Em7 Will you still love me, will you still hug me, Cadd9 G D When I’m eighty four, G G/F# Em7 When I’ve been working all my life, A7 D D7 And I’m still bloody poor? G G7 Dust in my lungs, a broken back, C A7 Still can’t retire it hurts, G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 Well I’m all for workers’ rights and that, G D G As long as I don’t have to work,
Chorus
D Cadd9 G So hats off to the schemers, to the scroungers, to the rats, D Cadd9 G To the ones who sleep on mattresses on the floor, clutching baseball bats, D Cadd9 G To the beggars and the cheaters and the kings who rise at noon, Am C D To the scoundrels, the misfits, the parasites, this one’s for you. N.C. “Don’t send me on another New Deal course, I can already spell my name, you lot take the piss”
Verse
G G/F# Em7 Maybe I’ll never shoot a rabbit, Cadd9 G D Perhaps I’ll never drink champagne, G G/F# Em7 But that’s alright with me, man, A7 D D7 I prefer cider anyway, G G7 And I’m happy doing nothing, C A7 They tell me it’s all a waste, G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 But I ain’t never seen no 3 piece suit, G D G With a smile on his face,
Chorus
D Cadd9 G So hats off to the schemers, to the scroungers, to the rats, D Cadd9 G To the ones who sleep on mattresses on the floor, clutching baseball bats, D Cadd9 G To the beggars and the cheaters and the kings who rise at noon, Am C D To the scoundrels, the misfits, the parasites, this one’s for you. N.C. “I searched all the newspapers and made my CV, I swear there just ain’t nothing out there”
Verse
G G/F# Em7 A 9 to 5, 5 days a week, mate, Cadd9 G D Is bottom of my list, G G/F# Em7 I just couldn’t live with myself, A7 D D7 Knowing there was something that I missed, G G7 So don’t go telling me “Take it seriously”, C A7 Believe me I do, G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 But life’s for living, not for working, G D G And I got better things to do,
Chorus
D Cadd9 G So hats off to the schemers, to the scroungers, to the rats, D Cadd9 G To the ones who sleep on mattresses on the floor, clutching baseball bats, D Cadd9 G To the beggars and the cheaters and the kings who rise at noon, Am C D To the scoundrels, the misfits, the parasites, this one’s for you.
