Deathwatch

intro: G, D (x3) G, C, G

verse:1
G       C                       G
I was a happy boy living on the dole
G                 C                D
When you came and ruined it all on me
G           C                                 G
I'd sit for hours all day in my good friend's home
G             C                 D
Smoking cigarettes and drinking tea
G          C                           G
We were so happy there, talk our lives away
G                 C                 D
Talking 'bout our hopes and all our dreams
G             C                                 G
Till you came round one day with your great big plan
G                C                 D
And you tried to ruin me with your schemes

chorus:
         G              C               G        D
And your Mammy and your Daddy well they call you Mary
         G                  C
But they shoulda called you Deathwatch
C                  G
Shoulda called you Deathwatch
G                D                G
Cause you nearly were the death of me

Verse:2
G                C                          G
Lads told me you were no good I turned them away
G                   C                 D
Said that you just wanted things from me
G                 C                   G
Then you made me get a job and I understood
G            C               D
I was in too deep I'd not be free

G             C                           G
And then I gave up drink cos you asked me too
G              C               D
I was shaving each day before long
G                C                          G
Then you said we had to save for a mortgage soon
G                 C              D
That was when the light began to dawn

verse:3
G                C                    G
Didn't even say goodbye just walked away
G                  C             D
From the burderns you had put on me
G                  C                            G
Don't know why I even tried to be something I'm not
G               C            D
All I know's I wanted to be free

G          C                      G
Now I'm a happy boy living on the dole
G        C                      D
Smoking cigarettes and drinking tea
G               C                         G
I'll find some other girl to have me as I am
G                  C               D
You can take your twisted love to sea
