(CAPO ON 1st FRET)
Verse 1:
This [C]table has four s[G]turdy [Am]legs
A he[C]art of [G]very near wild [Am]oak
When [F]others would have [G]screamed out [C]loud my [Am]friend
F G C C (let ring)
This one never even spoke
CHORUS
I've been [F]sat upon [G]oohh, I've been [C]spat upon [Am]oohh
I've been [F]treated like a bed
Been [G]carried like a stretcher,
when [Am]someone thinks they're dead
I've been [F]dined upon [G]oohh, I've been [C]wined upon [Am]oohh
I've been [F]taken for a fool
[G]Taken for a desk,
when they s[C]hould have been at school
Verse 2:
This table's been pushed against the door
When tempers, well tempers, flare at night
Banged upon with knuckles clenched my friend
When someone thinks that they are right
CHORUS
I've been sat upon, I've been spat upon
I've been treated like a bed
Been carried like a stretcher,
when someone thinks they're dead
I've been dined upon, I've been wined upon
I've been taken for a fool
Taken for a desk,
when they should have been at school
Bridge:
[C]Tables only [F]turn when tables [C]learn
[C]Put me on a [F]bonfire, watch me [G]burn
[C]Treat me with some [F]dignity, don't [C]treat me like a [Am]slave
Or I'll [C]turn into the [F]coffin [G]in your [C]grave
CHORUS
I've been sat upon, I've been spat upon
I've been treated like a bed
Been carried like a stretcher,
when someone thinks they're dead
I've been dined upon, I've been wined upon
I've been taken for a fool
Taken for a desk,
when they should have been at school
Bridge:
Tables only turn when tables learn
Put me on a bonfire, watch me burn
Treat me with some dignity, don't treat me like a slave
Or I'll turn into the coffin in your grave
