WE SING HALLELUJAH
Richard Thompson
Transcribed by Phil Saunders

Intro A E A Asus E

  A (x02220@1)           EA (022100@1)man is like a rusty wheel
A (x02220@1)        EOn (022100@1)a rusty cart
   A (x02220@1)   E/G# (143121@4)name="chord_244222@1">F#m        D (xx0232@1)      EHe (022100@1)sings his  song as he rattles along
    D (xx0232@1)     E (022100@1)    Aand (x02220@1)then he falls apart.

CHORUS
    A (x02220@1)             EAnd (022100@1)We'll sing hallelujah
       A (x02220@1)            EAt (022100@1)the turning of the year
       A (x02220@1)  E/G# (143121@4)name="chord_244222@1">F#m        D (xx0232@1)           EAnd (022100@1)we work all  day in the old fashioned way
         D (xx0232@1)     E (022100@1)    A'Til (x02220@1)the shining star appears

A man is like a briar
He covers himself with thorns
he laughs like a clown when his fortunes are down
And his clothes are ragged and torn

CHORUS

A man is like a three string fiddle
Hanging on the wall.
He plays when somebody scrapes on the bow
Or he can't play at all.

CHORUS

A man is like his father
Wishes he'd never been born.
He longs for the time when the clock bell will chime
And he's dead for evermore.

CHORUS
