Standard Tuning
Intro: F G Am x2
[F] [G] [C] [Am]
[F]This table has [G]four sturdy [Am]legs
[F]A heart of [G]very near wild [Am]oak
[F]When others would have [G]screamed out [C]loud my [Am]friend
[F]This one [G]never even [C]spoke
[F]I've been sat upon, [G]Ooo I've been [Am]spat upon
[F]I've been treated like a bed
[G]Been carried like a stretcher,
when [C]someone thinks they're [Am]dead
[F]I've been dined upon[G], I've been [Am]wined upon
I've [F]been taken for a fool
[G]Taken for a desk,
when [C]they should have been at [Am]school
This table's been pushed against the door
When tempers, well tempers flare at night
Banged upon with knuckles clenched my friend
When someone thinks that they are right
I've been sat upon, I've been spat upon
I've been treated like a bed
Been carried like a stretcher,
when someone thinks they're dead
I've been dined upon, I've been wined upon
I've been taken for a fool
Taken for a desk,
when they should have been at school
[C]Tables only [F]turn when tables [C]learn
[C]Put me on a [F]bonfire, watch me[G] burn
[C]Treat me with some [F]dignity, don't [C]treat me like a [F]slave
Or I'll [C]turn into the [F]coffin in your [C]grave
I've been sat upon, I've been spat upon
I've been treated like a bed
Been carried like a stretcher,
when someone thinks they're dead
I've been dined upon, I've been wined upon
I've been taken for a fool
Taken for a desk,
when they should have been at school
Tables only turn when tables learn
Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn
Treat me with some dignity, don't treat me like a slave
Or I'll turn into the coffin in your grave
