[Verse 1]
[G]The rain is falling on the site,
the [C]tea's [D]upon the [G]brew
We're sitting on our [Em]arseholes
with [A]bugger all to [D]do
Outside [C]our picks and shovels,
lads, [G]they slowly rust away
[D]We're rai[G]ned off and conten[C]ted
on [D]four pounds a [G]day
Four pounds a day, me lads,
and [C]nothing [D]much to [G]do
No trouble from the [Em]foreman,
he's [A]in the Union too
[D]Some wan[C]t the rain to go to Spain,
we [G]want the rain to [D]stay
We're [G]rained off and con[C]tented
on four [D]pounds a [G]day
It's early in the morning,
we start at ten o 'clock
We search the skies impa[Em]tiently,
[A]BJ's I felt a [D]drop
The [C]cam lads are on bonus,
and each brew [G]means better pay
[D]We're rai[G]ned off and conten[C]ted
on [D]four pounds a [G]day
Four pounds a day, me lads,
and [C]nothing [D]much to [G]do
No trouble from the [Em]foreman,
he's [A]in the Union too
[D]Some wan[C]t the rain to go to Spain,
we [G]want the rain to [D]stay
We're [G]rained off and con[C]tented
on four [D]pounds a [G]day
So Freddy, get the cards out,
the racing [D]page as [G]well
And as for the contract[Em]ors,
we [A]hope they go to [D]hell
It [C]looks as if the rain's set in,
we [G]shan't do much today
[D]What mat[G]ter if on Friday[C]
we all draw [D]our [G]pay
Four pounds a day, me lads,
and [C]nothing much to [G]do
No trouble from the [Em]foreman,
he's [A]in the Union too
[D]Some wan[C]t the rain to go to Spain,
we [G]want the rain to stay
[D]We're rai[G]ned off and conten[C]ted
on four [D]pounds a [G]day
