Dm (xx0231@1)                  Dmmaj7
 Pennies from heaven, don't make me laugh
Dm7                      Dm6 (xx0201@1)Here all you'll get is the pattering rain
   Bb (x1333x@1)             F (133211@1)                 C (x32010@1)Or yon two crows up over the hill looking for winterkill

Dm (xx0231@1)                     Dmmaj7
 Always at your boots, the mud behind the byre
Dm7           Dm6 (xx0201@1)          Bb (x1333x@1)With its clammy hold, would mock you up a grave
   F (133211@1)                   C (x32010@1)Here in the mire of a wrecked sheepfold

F (133211@1)                               Bb (x1333x@1)     
 And all you'll bring to this is muscle and grit
F (133211@1)                  Bb (x1333x@1)      
 Persistence, that's just about it
F (133211@1)                               Bb (x1333x@1)What made you think there'd be a living in sheep?
 F (133211@1)   Bb (x1333x@1)  F (133211@1)           Bb (x1333x@1)Eat, work, eat, work and sleep

Dm (xx0231@1)                       Dmmaj7
 Duck under the eaves of the bothy
    Dm7                 Dm6 (xx0201@1)To sit here, caged by rain
  Bb (x1333x@1)                      F (133211@1)                   C (x32010@1)Somewhere to go conjure a next move when I have to think again

Dm (xx0231@1)               Dmmaj7
 The dog lifts his gaze to plead
 Dm7                       Dm6 (xx0201@1)Believes the wizard has a magic stick
  Bb (x1333x@1)                      F (133211@1)                   C (x32010@1)Leans his weight into my tweed I give an unholy hand to lick

F (133211@1)                       Bb (x1333x@1) 
 I take a swig of sheep dip from my flask
F (133211@1)              Bb (x1333x@1)
 And once again I ask 
F (133211@1)                               Bb (x1333x@1)What made you think there'd be a living in sheep?
 F (133211@1)   Bb (x1333x@1)  F (133211@1)           Bb (x1333x@1)Eat, work, eat, work and sleep

Dm (xx0231@1)                             Dmmaj7
 They were at this game two hundred years ago
Dm7                       Dm6 (xx0201@1)Had thirty ways of dying young poor souls
Bb (x1333x@1)                     F (133211@1)                 C (x32010@1)Laid to rest in their soggy rows rain on their holy books

Dm (xx0231@1)              Dmmaj7
 Blood and whisky on the tongue
Dm7                       Dm6 (xx0201@1)And no-one watching over anyone
Bb (x1333x@1)                     F (133211@1)                  C (x32010@1)No-one left but your stubborn one and the crows and rooks

F (133211@1)              Bb (x1333x@1)  F (133211@1)    Bb (x1333x@1)Ah, the dying young - well I'm not done
F (133211@1)                Bb (x1333x@1)You watch me and I'll watch thee
          F (133211@1)                      Bb (x1333x@1)I can still work for two men and drink for three
F (133211@1)                            Bb (x1333x@1)And I raise my flask to the clearing skies
F (133211@1)                    Bb (x1333x@1)To you, sweepers you carrion spies
F (133211@1)           Bb (x1333x@1)To scavenge and survive
F (133211@1)                Bb (x1333x@1)If you can do it so can I
