VERSE
D      D/F#       G
My landlady's too rude

In my affair she likes to intrude
D      D/F#       G
My landlady's too rude

In my affair she likes to intrude

G                   D/A      B7
Five o'clock in the morning
G       A       D
The landlady is peepin'
D     D/F#    G
 No, it isn't fair
          A6              D
This prosecution I got to bear

"Mister give me my rent"

VERSE
D       D/F#     G
 This is how she start
           A6                       D
A lot of restrictions to break your heart
D      D/F#   G
 "After ten o'clock
             A6                    D        D7
Tenants must know my front door is locked"


BRIDGE
           G                   D/A      B7
And on the wall she stick up a notice
         Em            A      D
"No lady friends - not even a princess"
D       D/F#    G
 And if you disagree
        A6          D
Out you go immediately
          B7

VERSE
D        D/F#   G
 No chair, no table
       A6               D
The convenience is terrible
D       D/F#      G
 And on the other part
       A6              D        D7
No hot water to take a bath


BRIDGE
      G                      D/A      B7
And believe you sleep like a rabbit
        Em         A         D
A dirty sheet with half of a blanket
D            D/F#      G
 And she has the audacity
               A6            D
To tell me I'm living in luxury
          B7
And every Monday:


CHORUS
 Em     A          D
"Mister give me my rent"
D/F#      G     G#dim  D/A
O Lord, I try I cannot prevent

VERSE
D      D/F#    G
 No use you complain 
                 A6                   D
You wastin' your time, you talking in vain
        D        D/F#     G
Because, when she get her fees
                  A6                   D        D7
She couldn't care less if you vexed or pleased


BRIDGE
        G                  D/A      B7
And the rent is all on the level
        Em       A         D
Four Guineas for single or double
     D     D/F#     G
Boys, that landlady bad
                   A6                 D
She worse than the landlord from Trinidad
          B7
And every Monday:


CHORUS

"Mister give me my rent"
