Hope this helps... As happened with the posting from Jack I dont know if chords will look right when posted. The Janny Song - Billy Connolly
D G D When I was wee I used tae hiv a nightmare every night E A I woke up screamin jist before the monster took a bite G D G D He wore a blue serge outfit wi buttons shiny n bright A D I lived in terror o the janny
G Oh the janny aye the janny D He nearly drove me mad E A He'd shop me tae the teachers any time that I was bad, G I wish that he'd retire or die or move tae Garngad, D A D Ma hearts near broke wi the janny
D G D I mind wan summer evening I was playing on the street E A A simple game a fitba wi ma sannies on ma feet G D G D I hit the baw a stoater an it soared away a treat A D The last thing on ma mind wis the janny
D G D Noo I don't look fur trouble but I seem tae get ma share E A The baw went sailin skywards slowly curvin in the air G D G D The last thing I remember there wis plate glass everywhere A D And guess who saw me the janny
G Oh the janny aye the janny D He nearly drove me mad E A He'd shop me tae the teachers any time that I was bad, G I wish that he'd retire or die or move tae Garngad, D A D Ma hearts near broke wi the janny
D G D First thing on Monday morning I was sent for by the head E A And he hit me wi his leather belt till I wished that I was dead G D G D I swore I'd get the janny and choke him in his bed A D I wis gonny murder the janny
D G D Well nine years later I left school and I got myself a job E A It felt a million dollars just tae huv a couple a bob G D G D I wis oot the road of the traffic didnae need tae steal or rob A D And I've yet tae see a shipyerd wi a janny
G Oh the janny aye the janny D He nearly drove me mad E A He'd shop me tae the teachers any time that I was bad, G I wish that he'd retire or die or move tae Garngad, D A D Ma hearts near broke wi the janny
D G D One night on my way hame fae work I nipped in for a pint E A Somethin glistened in the corner of my eye jist oot of sight G D G D I saw it wis the janny I prepared myself tae fight A D I wis gonny murder the janny
D G D Well the next thing I remember he wis staunin next tae me E A He wisnae such a big bloke only five fit two or three G D G D If I'd laid a hand upon him ma mates would've murdered me A D A poor wee soul is the janny
G Oh the janny aye the janny D He nearly drove me mad E A He'd shop me tae the teachers any time that I was bad, G Im gled he's no retired or dead or livin in Garngad, D A D G D A poor wee soul is the janny
