The Bricklayers Song Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 Dear CSir I write this note to you to tGell you of my plCight

 For Fat the time of wriCting it, IG'm not a pretty sight

 My bFody is all bClack and blue, my fFace a deathly grAmey

 And I wrCite this note to say why I am nGot at work toCday

 While woCrking on the fourteenth floor some brGicks I had to clCear

 But toFssing them down from sCuch a height wGas not a good idea

 The forFeman wasn't vCery pleased, he Fis an awkward Amsod

 And he saCid I had to cart them down the laGdders in me hCod

 Well cleCaring all these bricks by hand, it wGas so very sClow

 So I hoisFted up a baCrrel and seGcured a rope below

 But Fin me haste to dCo the job, I wFas too blind to Amsee

 That a baCrrel full of building bricks was heGavier than Cme

 And sCo when I untied the rope the baGrrel fell like lCead

 And cliFnging tightly Cto the rope, I staGrted up instead

 I shoFt up like a rCocket, and to Fmy dismay I fAmound

 That haClfway up I met the bloody baGrrel coming dCown

 Well the baCrrel broke me shoulder, as Gto the ground it sCped

 And wFhen I reached the Ctop I banged the puGlley with me head

 But I cFlung on tightly nuCmb with shock from tFhis almighty bAmlow

 While the baCrrel spilled out half its bricks some fourGteen floors belCow

CWhen these bricks had fallen from the baGrrel to the flCoor

 I thFen outweighed the baCrrel and so staGrted down once more

 But I clFung on tightly to tChe rope me bFody racked with pAmain

 And haClfway down I met the bloody bGarrel once aCgain

 Now the foCrce of this collision halfway doGwn the office bloCck

 CaFused multiple abrCasions and a nasGty case of shock

 But I clFung on tightly to tChe rope as I fFell towards the groAmund

 And I laCnded on the broken bricks the baGrrel had scattered roCund.

 Now Cas I lay there on the ground I thoGught I'd passed the wCorst

 But the baFrrel hit the puClley wheel and thGen the bottom burst

 A shFower of bricks rained doCwn on me I dFidn't have a hAmope

 As I lCay there bleeding on the ground I let Ggo of the bloody ropeC

 The baCrrel now being heavier so staGrted down once mCore

 It laFnded right acrCoss me as I lGay there on the floor

 It bFroke three ribs and mCy left arm and FI can only sAmay

 I hCope you`ll understand why I am nGot at work tCoday
