Theyre Moving Fathers Grave To Build A Sewer Cifras para ukulele

[Verse 1]
C                                         G
They're moving father's grave to build a sewer.
                                     C
They' re moving him regardless of expense.
 C
They dug up his remains to put in five inch drains,
                                   G
To irrigate some posh bloke's residence.
 
[Verse 2]
C                                  G
Now what's the use in having a religion,
                                          C
If when you're dead your troubles never cease,
C
If some rich city chap wants a pipeline to privy.
                                              G
They'll never let a British workman rest in peace.
 
[Verse 3]
C                                          G
Now in his lifetime father never was a quitter,
                                         C
And I’m sure that he won’t be a quitter now.
C
For when the job's complete,
C
he'll haunt that privy seat,
                                         G
And he'll only let them sit when he'll allow.
 
[Verse 4]
C                                     G
Now won't there be some bloomin consternation,
                                       C
And won't them city chappys rant and rave.
C
Which is more than they deserve
C
for they had the bleeding nerve
G                                   C
To muck about a British workman's grave.
 
[Outro]
C
My old man said "Foller the van,
                             G
And don't dilly dallyon the way
G
Off went the van with me home packed in it,
                                  C
I followed on with me old clock linnet
C
But I dillied and dallied, dallied and I dillied
                                       G
I lost me way and don't know where to roam.
C                                        F
Well you can't trust a special like the old time coppers
          G                    C
When you can't find your way home
