'Twas [G] on a Monday morn[D]ing the [G] gas man [D] came to [G] call.
The [C] gas tap wouldn't [G] turn ‐ I wasn't [A] getting gas at [D] all.
He [G] tore out all the [D] skirting boards to [E7] try and find the [C] main
And I [C] had to call a [G] carpenter to [D] put them back a[G]gain.
{c: }
[G] Oh, it all makes [A] work for the [D7] working man to [G] do.
{c: }
'Twas [G] on a Tuesday morn[D]ing the [G] carpen[D]ter came [G] round.
He [C] hammered and he chiselled and he [Am] said: "Look what I've [D] found:
Yo u r [G] joists are full of [D] dry rot
But I'll [C] put them all to [Am] rights".
Then he [F] nailed right through a [G] cable
and [D] out went all the [G] lights!
{c: }
[G] Oh, it all makes [A] work for the [D7] working man to [G] do.
{c: }
'Twas [G] on a Wednesday morn[D]ing the [G] elec[D]trician [G] came.
He [C] called me Mr. [G] Sanderson, which [A] isn't quite the [D] name.
He [G] couldn't reach the [D] fuse box without [E7] standing on the [C] bin
And his [C] foot went through a [G] window
so I [D] called the glazier [G] in.
{c: }
[G] Oh, it all makes [A] work for the [D7] working man to [G] do.
{c: }
'Twas [G] on a Thursday morn[D]ing the [G] glaz[D]ier came [G] round
With his [C] blow torch and his [G] putty
and his [A] merry [F#m] glazier's [D] song.
He [G] put another [D] pane in - it [C] took no time at [Am] all
But I [C] had to get a [G] painter in to [D] come and paint the [G] wall.
{c: }
[G] Oh, it all makes [A] work for the [D7] working man to [G] do.
{c: }
'Twas [G] on a Friday morn[D]ing the [G] painter [D] made a [G] start.
With [C] undercoats and [G] overcoats he [A] painted every [D] part:
Every [G] nook and every [D] cranny - but I [E7] found when he was [Am] gone
He'd [C] painted over the [G] gas tap and I [D] couldn't turn it [G] on!
{c: }
[G] Oh, it all makes [A] work for the [D7] working man to [G] do.
{c: }
On [G] Saturday and [G7] Sunday they [Am] do no [E7] work at [Am] all;
[C] So 'twas [G] on a Monday [D] morning that the [G] gasman [D] came to [D] call...
