C<\/span> G<\/span> C<\/span>\r\nDear Sir I write this note to you to tell you of my plight\r\nF<\/span> C<\/span> G<\/span>\r\nFor at the time of writing it I'm not a pretty sight\r\nF<\/span> C<\/span> G<\/span> Am<\/span>\r\nMy body is all black and blue, my face a deathly grey\r\n C<\/span> F<\/span> G<\/span> C<\/span>\r\nAnd I write this note to say why I am not at work today\r\n \r\nC<\/span> G<\/span> C<\/span>\r\nWhile working on the fourteenth floor some bricks I had to clear\r\nF<\/span> C<\/span> G<\/span>\r\nBut tossing them down from such a height was not a good idea\r\n F<\/span> C<\/span> G<\/span> Am<\/span>\r\nThe foreman wasn't very pleased he is an arkward sod \r\n C<\/span> F<\/span> G<\/span> C<\/span>\r\nAnd he said I had to cart them down the ladders in me hod\r\n \r\n\r\nC<\/span> G<\/span> C<\/span>\r\nWell clearing all these bricks by hand it was so very slow\r\n F<\/span> C<\/span> G<\/span>\r\nSo I hoisted up a barrel and secured a rope below\r\n F<\/span> C<\/span> G<\/span> Am<\/span>\r\nBut in me haste to do the job, I was to blind to see\r\n C<\/span> F<\/span> G<\/span> C<\/span>\r\nThat a barrel full of building bricks was heavier than me\r\n \r\nC<\/span> G<\/span> C<\/span>\r\nAnd so when I untied the rope the barrel fell like lead\r\n F<\/span> C<\/span> G<\/span>\r\nAnd clinging tightly to the rope I started up instead\r\n F<\/span> C<\/span> G<\/span> Am<\/span>\r\nI shot up like a rocket, and to my dismay I found\r\n C<\/span> F<\/span> G<\/span> C<\/span>\r\nThat halfway up I met the bloody barrel coming down\r\n \r\nC<\/span> G<\/span> C<\/span>\r\nWell the barrel broke me shoulder as to the ground it sped\r\n F<\/span> C<\/span> G<\/span>\r\nAnd when I reached the top I banged the pulley with me head\r\n F<\/span> C<\/span> G<\/span> Am<\/span>\r\nBut I clung on tightly numb with shock from this almighty blow\r\n C<\/span> F<\/span> G<\/span> C<\/span>\r\nWhile the barrel spilled out half it's bricks some fourteen floors below\r\n \r\nC G C\r\nWhen these bricks had fallen from the barrel to the floor \r\n F C G\r\nI then outweighed the barrel and so started down once more\r\n F C G Am\r\nBut I clung on tightly to the rope me body racked with pain \r\n C F G C\r\nAnd halfway down I met the bloody barrel once again\r\n \r\nC G C\r\nNow the force of this collision halfway down the office block\r\n F C G\r\nCaused multiple abrasions and a nasty case of shock\r\n F C G Am\r\nBut I clung on tightly to the rope as I fell towards the ground\r\n C F G C\r\nAnd I landed on the broken bricks the barrel had scattered round.\r\n \r\nC G C\r\nNow as I lay there on the ground I thought I'd passed the worst\r\n F C G\r\nBut the barrel hit the pulley wheel and then the bottom burst\r\n F C G Am\r\nA shower of bricks rained down on me I didn't have a hope\r\n C F G C\r\nAs I lay there bleeding on the ground I let go of the bloody rope\r\n \r\nC G C\r\nThe barrel now being heavier so started down once more\r\n F C G\r\nIt landed right across me as I lay there on the floor\r\n F C G Am\r\nIt broke three ribs and my left arm and I can only say\r\n C F G C\r\nI hope you`ll understand why I am not at work today<\/span><\/pre>\nX<\/span><\/div>\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"by the Corries C G C Dear Sir I write this note to you to tell you of my plight F C G For at the time of writing it I’m not a pretty sight F C G Am My body is all black and blue, my face a deathly …
