 This works much better on an acoustic guitar.
 May not be the right key, but it sounds okay.
 Go easy on me it's my first tab.

 The next bit goes
 (In Barre Chords:)
 
 Be quiet katie there is someone at the hatch
 G       F  G   F        G       F      G      
 You curse the darkness and I'll strike a match
     F         G   F        G    F        G        
 Undoing the latch I tripped on the scales and fell
   Bm        G       Bm                G 
 Just as someone hit the reception bell
 Am                        Cm                                         
 The ghost of that injury still remains, my ankle starts to swell just
     G    F     G F G F G F G F G F 
 before it rains
   G    F  G                                               
 leaders of nations, wild alsations, crumbling foundations,
 Bm         G        Bm G Am 
 I've lost my patience
 D 
  
 These big companies are giving us the squeeze
         Am    C         Am           C 
 Lets raise our glasses to mr. onassis
 D 
  
 Protection racket (hand over the packet)
 G     D       C                   
  Rome needs cement (in this event)
 G     D         C                       
 Go over to the till katie (the national)
   G            D     C 
 Pay this man his rent
 G D C 
    
 It's a standard procedure
 Em D

 I forgot to mention that grandmas pension
 Will ease the rent book tension
 
 The rest of the song follows a regular pattern, and you should figure out the
 strumming pattern. I've tabbed everything you need to know.
 
 A little birdie told me you've been syphoning the poor box
 I heard the knitting circle disscusing chubb locks
 Whats all the commotion? what do they expect?
 With no sign of a promotion I've lost my self respect
 You see I built this heap from scratch when I was poor
 now they're asking me to hoover the floor
 Splash some water over me slap round the face
 Did I miss a meeting I don't recognise the place
 
 The plug in the socket burns a hole in the pocket
 
 These big companies are giving us the squeeze
 Lets raise our glasses to mr. onassis
 
 Protection racket (hand over the packet)
 Rome needs cement (in this event)
 Go over to the till katie (the national)
 Pay this man his rent
