Intro: Am   x4 

Verse 1: 
           Am	      
Put my hand on the Bible  
Am	            
Doing it for liable  
Dm 
It's suing season  
              E7 
And I am broke  

Buy me some happy  
Find me some passion  
Will it ever happen?  
Heaven knows  

Chorus: 
Am                                           Dm 
Sometimes you've got to get the joke  
G                                              C(add9) E7 
It's the only thing that keeps this bloke afloat  
Am                                    Dm 
Who put this spanner in my spokes?  
Fm                             C      E7 (break) 
I can't change how it's wrote  

Verse 2: 
Classy or flashy  
At home with Lassie  
They all walk past me  
I wouldn't know  

Make me a new man  
Find me a new plan  
I am a sports fan  
A real bloke  

 Chorus: 
Sometimes you've got to get the joke  
It's the only thing that keeps this bloke afloat  
Who put this chainsaw in my spokes?  
I can't change how it's wrote  

F7 
When my ship comes in  
E7 
She'll be on it  
Am 
Eating a fresh kebab  
D7 
And I want it  
G#7             G 
And I want it now

Chorus: 
Sometimes you've got to get the joke  
It's the only thing that keeps this bloke afloat  
You get the tagger I the clum. 
I can't change how it's wrote
