Big John Khatt And The Highland Blues Band - The Tarriers Song Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

CmEarly in the morning at seven o'clock

 there are G7twenty Tarriers a drilling at the rock,

 And the Cmboss comes around and he says, 'Keep still!

 and G7come down heavy on your cast iron drill.'

Chorus

 And Cmdrill ye G7Tarriers, Cmdrill.

B♭Drill ye Tarriers Cmdrill.

CmWell, you work all day for the E♭sugar in your tea,

G7down behind the railway..

 And Cmdrill ye G7Tarriers Cmdrill,

 And Cmblast and fire.

G7Now, our new Cmforeman was Jim McGann,

 by G7god, he was, a blamed, mean man.

 Last Cmweek a premature blast went off,

 and a G7mile in the sky went Big Jim Goff.

Chorus

 And Cmdrill ye G7Tarriers, Cmdrill.

B♭Drill ye Tarriers Cmdrill.

CmWell, you work all day for the E♭sugar in your tea,

G7down behind the railway..

 And Cmdrill ye G7Tarriers Cmdrill,

 And Cmblast and fire.

 Now, when Cmnext payday comes around,

 Jim G7Goff a dollar short was found.

 When Cmasked the reason, came this reply..

 'You were G7docked for the time you were up in the sky.'

Chorus

 And Cmdrill ye G7Tarriers, Cmdrill.

B♭Drill ye Tarriers Cmdrill.

CmWell, you work all day for the E♭sugar in your tea,

G7down behind the railway..

 And Cmdrill ye G7Tarriers Cmdrill,

 And Cmblast and fire.

CmNow, the boss was a fine man down to the ground,

 and he G7married a lady, six feet around.

 She Cmbaked good bread, and she baked it well,

 but she G7baked it as hard as the coals in hell.

Chorus

 And Cmdrill ye G7Tarriers, Cmdrill.

B♭Drill ye Tarriers Cmdrill.

CmWell, you work all day for the E♭sugar in your tea,

G7down behind the railway..

 And Cmdrill ye G7Tarriers Cmdrill,

 And Cmblast and fire.
