[Verse 1]
There Gmwas a knockin' at my door
CmIt's the dreaded Gmlandlord
He Cmwants his rent and Gmwants it now
And he is Dmcareless Gmhow
He Ebleft us in a Bbvacant daze
CmAskin' Dmhow we Cmgot here
And Gmwe retired to Dmslumber
But the Amglasses never were Gmrinsed
[Verse 2]
There Gmwas a tapping on my back
CmIt's the dreaded Gmforeman
I Cmthink I see a Gmsmile
Through his Dmteeth and his Gmcigar
He Ebput my hands to Bbworking
Said they'd CmotherDmwise do Cmnothing
And I Gmmade a thousand Dmthings today
I'm Amsure I'll never Gmuse
[Verse 3]
There Gmwas a ringing of my bell
I Cmpicked it up to Gmanswer
They Cmsaid they were my Gmcomrade
But they Dmcouldn't say my Gmname +
So I Ebasked about the Bbsun and moon
And Cmwhat their Dmthoughts on Cmtime were
They Gmhung it up in Dmmadness
And went Amon to punch the Gmclock
Gm
Cm Gm Dm Gm

Cm Gm Dm Gm
[Chorus]
And Cmsomewhere there's a sound of someone Gmsinging
I Dmgot an invitation once to Gmliberty
They Ebhad a mischief brew, but Gmno goblets were used
AmBesting rum or porter
'tis a Amliquor never brewed.Am  Bb  Am  
Never brewed!

[Verse 4]
There Gmwas a rapping at my door
ICmt's the dreaded Gmpoliceman
He Cmhad a ticket to Gmenter
Signed by Dmfools and stamped with Gmlaws
He Ebquestioned me on Bbpolitics
CmScorned my DmgenerCmation
For Gmnot respecting Dmelders
And the Amland's authoriGmty
[Verse 5]
So Gmwhen the landlord came to knock
I Cmsaid, "Come back Gmtomorrow!"
There's Cmmore life I'll be Gmliving
Than just Dmslaving from your Bbwage
And Ebto the troop and Bbforeman.
Make youEbrself the thBbings I don't Dmuse.Am  
For I'm Gmoff into the Dmforest for a Amliquor never Gmbrewed!
[Chorus]
Today, I'm Cmfollowing the sound of someone Gmsinging
I Dmgot an invitation once to Gmliberty
They Ebhad a mischief brew, but Gmno goblets were used
AmBesting rum or porter
'Tis a Amliquor never brewed, never brewedAm  Bb  Am  
[Outro]
Just mess around with those bridge chords until the end.

[Verse 1]

There was a knockin' at my door

Cm Gm

It's the dreaded landlord

Cm Gm

He wants his rent and wants it now

Dm Gm

And he is careless how

Eb Bb

He left us in a vacant daze

Cm Dm Cm

Askin' how we got here

Gm Dm

And we retired to slumber

Am Gm

But the glasses never were rinsed

[Verse 2]

There was a tapping on my back

Cm Gm

It's the dreaded foreman

Cm Gm

I think I see a smile

Dm Gm

Through his teeth and his cigar

Eb Bb

He put my hands to working

Cm Dm Cm

Said they'd otherwise do nothing

Gm Dm

And I made a thousand things today

Am Gm

I'm sure I'll never use

[Verse 3]

There was a ringing of my bell

Cm Gm

I picked it up to answer

Cm Gm

They said they were my comrade

Dm Gm

But they couldn't say my name +

Eb Bb

So I asked about the sun and moon

Cm Dm Cm

And what their thoughts on time were

Gm Dm

They hung it up in madness

Am Gm

And went on to punch the clock

Cm Gm Dm Gm

[Chorus]

Cm Gm

And somewhere there's a sound of someone singing

Dm Gm

I got an invitation once to liberty

Eb Gm

They had a mischief brew, but no goblets were used

Besting rum or porter

Am Am Bb Am

'tis a liquor never brewed.

Never brewed!

[Verse 4]

There was a rapping at my door

Cm Gm

It's the dreaded policeman

Cm Gm

He had a ticket to enter

Dm Gm

Signed by fools and stamped with laws

Eb Bb

He questioned me on politics

Cm Dm Cm

Scorned my generation

Gm Dm

For not respecting elders

Am Gm

And the land's authority

[Verse 5]

So when the landlord came to knock

Cm Gm

I said, "Come back tomorrow!"

Cm Gm

There's more life I'll be living

Dm Bb

Than just slaving from your wage

Eb Bb

And to the troop and foreman.

Eb Bb Dm Am

Make yourself the things I don't use.

Gm Dm Am Gm

For I'm off into the forest for a liquor never brewed!

[Chorus]

Cm Gm

Today, I'm following the sound of someone singing

Dm Gm

I got an invitation once to liberty

Eb Gm

They had a mischief brew, but no goblets were used

Besting rum or porter

Am Am Bb Am

'Tis a liquor never brewed, never brewed
