       F5  G5  C5  A5

F5              G5           A5 
This table has four sturdy legs
F5          G5              A5 
A heart of very near wild oak
F5                      G5            C5       A5
When others would have screamed out loud my friend
F5        G5          C5
This one never even spoke


F5                   G5             A5
I've been sat upon, Ooo I've been spat upon
F5
I've been treated like a bed
G5
Been carried like a stretcher,
     C5                      A5
when someone thinks they're dead
F5                   G5           A5
I've been dined upon, I've been wined upon
     F5
I've been taken for a fool
G5
Taken for a desk,
     C5                        A5      
when they should have been at school

This table's been pushed against the door

When tempers, well tempers flare at night

Banged upon with knuckles clenched my friend

When someone thinks that they are right

I've been sat upon, I've been spat upon

I've been treated like a bed

Been carried like a stretcher,

when someone thinks they're dead

I've been dined upon, I've been wined upon

I've been taken for a fool

Taken for a desk,

when they should have been at school


C5           F5                C5
Tables only turn when tables learn
C5           F5                G5
Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn
C5                  F5              C5               F5
Treat me with some dignity, don't treat me like a slave
        C5             F5              C5
Or I'll turn into the coffin in your grave

I've been sat upon, I've been spat upon
I've been treated like a bed
Been carried like a stretcher,
when someone thinks they're dead
I've been dined upon, I've been wined upon
I've been taken for a fool
Taken for a desk,
when they should have been at school

Tables only turn when tables learn
Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn
Treat me with some dignity, don't treat me like a slave
Or I'll turn into the coffin in your grave
