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.
CHORUS
