WE SING HALLELUJAH Richard Thompson Transcribed by Phil Saunders
Intro A E A Asus E
A E A man is like a rusty wheel A E On a rusty cart A E/G# F#m D E He sings his song as he rattles along D E A and then he falls apart.
CHORUS A E And We'll sing hallelujah A E At the turning of the year A E/G# F#m D E And we work all day in the old fashioned way D E A 'Til the shining star appears
A man is like a briar He covers himself with thorns he laughs like a clown when his fortunes are down And his clothes are ragged and torn
CHORUS
A man is like a three string fiddle Hanging on the wall. He plays when somebody scrapes on the bow Or he can't play at all.
CHORUS
A man is like his father Wishes he'd never been born. He longs for the time when the clock bell will chime And he's dead for evermore.
