Capo 6 is how it's in the video, but you can move it wherever you like.
These are the chords based on the 
GWell I have loBmst everything Cthat I ownG  
GNo, I haGven't got a penny to my Dname
GI have scraped and I havBme saved
And I stCole from the depGraved
And there ain't Gno money Dto be savedG  
And I have worked every god-given hour
To keep this roof above my head
Yet I still find at the end of the day
That it's just not enough to get fed
And I've Cscraped every bGarrel
And I've Cdrank every dreGg
Yet GI stilBml find at the Cend of tGhe day
GThere is still no womDan in my beGd
And there used to be a day
When I'd bring home my pay
And my daddy, he would be so proud
And he'd say "Well done, son
You deserve what you have won
Just make sure you don't piss it all away"
And then I went and pissed it all away
And then I hung my head in shame
And then I went back, the very next day
And I done it all over again
And he'd say "Oh, my son
Look what you've become
You're a singer in a one-horse band
Oh, I had such high hopes
That you'd be one of those blokes
With a pick and a shovel in your hand"
So I used to work the stage
Just to earn a little wage
To keep the wolf from at my door
But kicking shit up a hill
Just don't give me the same thrills
And I don't want to do it anymore
And you just stood there, laughing
Saying I ain't got what it takes
Well I only know one bloody speed
And there ain't no fucking brakes
And he'd say "Oh, my son
Look what you've become
You're a singer in a one-horse band
Oh, I had such high hopes
That you'd be one of those blokes
With a pick and a shovel in your hand"
So fuck all of you
You don't know what I can do
You've only come to watch me drown
Will I sink or will I swim?
Will I endeavour to win?
At least I'm not working for a clown
And he'd say "Oh, my son
Look what you've become
You're a singer in a one-horse band
Oh, I had such high hopes
That you'd be one of those blokes
With a pick and a shovel in your hand"
And he'd say "Oh, my son
Look what you've become
You're a singer in a one-horse band
Oh, I had such high hopes
That you'd be one of those blokes
With a pick and a guitar in your hand"

Well I have lost everything that I own

I have scraped and I have saved

C G

And I stole from the depraved

G D G

And there ain't no money to be saved

And I have worked every god-given hour

To keep this roof above my head

Yet I still find at the end of the day

That it's just not enough to get fed

G Bm C G

Yet I still find at the end of the day

G D G

There is still no woman in my bed

And there used to be a day

When I'd bring home my pay

And my daddy, he would be so proud

And he'd say "Well done, son

You deserve what you have won

Just make sure you don't piss it all away"

And then I went and pissed it all away

And then I hung my head in shame

And then I went back, the very next day

And I done it all over again

And he'd say "Oh, my son
