Capo 1 (Chords relative to capo)
Six in the morning, don t want to wake
Sun laying low and the world sleeping late
Hate like the river, runs heavy and deep
Oh I wish that they d sack me and leave me to sleep
(x2)
Five days from seven the week s hardly mine
The alarm clocks gone over to enemy lines
Waste my time working for cowards and creeps
Oh I wish that they d sack me and leave me to sleep
Rain strikes the window, heralds the day
Rain won t you wash these eight hours away?
Rain feeds the river, runs heavy and deep
Oh I wish that they d sack me and leave me to sleep
(x2)
Birds at my window sing in the dawn
By the time that I m home all this day will be gone
Spend my life sowing what others will reap
Oh I wish that they d sack me and leave me to sleep
Rain strikes the window, heralds the day
Rain won t you wash these eight hours away?
Rain feeds the river, runs heavy and deep
Oh I wish that they d sack me and leave me to sleep
Instrumental
Rain strikes the window, heralds the day
Rain won t you wash these eight hours away?
Rain feeds the river, runs heavy and deep
Oh I wish that they d sack me and leave me to sleep
[Repeat last verse]
(x2)
