Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D][G][D][G]
[D]Whe[A]n[D]
a felon's not en[A]gaged
in [D]his employment, his employment,
Or [Bm]maturing his [E]felonious [A]little plans,
Little plans,
His capa[D]city for [A]innocent enjoyment,
[D]Innocent enjoyment,
He's just as great as [A]any honest [D]man's,
honest man's.
Our feel[A]ings we with [E]difficulty smother,
difficulty smother.
When constabulary duties to be [A]done,
to be done.
Taking one consideration with another[D],
[Ebdim]with another.
[A]A policeman's lot is n[E]ot an happy o[A]ne.
Oh, when constabu[D]lary duty's [A]to be done,
[D]to be done,
[A]a police[G]man's lot is [D]not an [A]happy one,
[D]happy [G]one.[A]
[D]When the enterprising bur[A]glar's not a b[D]urglar,
not a burglar,
when the [G]cutthroat isn't occu[E]pied in [A]crime,
occupied in crime,
He [D]loves to hear [A]the little
brook a [D]-gurglin'
Brook a -gurglin'
And listen to the [A]many village [D]chimes
Village chimes
When the [A]costas finish
jumping on [E]his mother
On his mother
He loves to lie a -boreskin in [A]the sun
In the sun
Takin' one consideration with an[D]other
With [Ebdim]an other
[A]A policeman's lot i[E]s not an happy o[A]ne
When [D]constabulary do [A]is to be [D]done,
to be done,
a police[G]man's lot [D]is not [A]an happy [D]one,
happy [G]one.[A][D]
When the drunkard shows no [A]sign
of where [D]the drink went,
where the drink went,
he nobly bids [E]all out [A]the old farewell,
old farewell.
When [D]the juvenile delinquent
[A]to the clink [D]went,
he hung his [A]mother's
picture in his [D]cell.
[A]When the car chops finished [E]wiping [A]out his brother,
[E]
he buys a rattle for [A]his little son.
Taking one consideration with
[D]an other[Ebdim],
[D]A policeman's l[A]ot is
not [E]an happy [A]one.
When constabulary duties to be done,
to [D]be done.
A police[G]man's lot is
[A]not an happy one.
[D]Happy [A]one.[D][G]
[D][A][D]
