E                                                               A
  Watch out world I’m a man at ease, free to do whatever what I want.
E                                                            A
Lonely heathland here I come, deathless useless bracken underfoot.
F#m                   Bm   E
 Happy days are here again,
F#m                           Bm
 It’s just like I’m fourteen again.


    E                                                                              A
And I can’t cope but don’t tell your mom, not while she’s got Medicine Head on the phone.
E                                                                A
I need pills to help me sleep, and I need pills to wake me up as well.
F#m                       Bm   E
 Factory Prankster of the Year
F#m                     Bm
 Once upon a time and a half, time and a half.


[Chorus]

       E                       A
Turned up (turned up), clocked on (clocked on)
       C                    E
Turned up, clocked on, laid off.
                               A
Turned up (turned up), clocked on (clocked on)
       C                    E       A  E  A  C
Turned up, clocked on, laid off.


[Verse]

        E                                                                          A
There’s people who can’t spell “weird” right, driving ‘round with thousands in the bank.
    E                                                                A
But I get by - got a lot on my mind; I get by – got allotments on my mind.
F#m                     Bm   E
 The three men I admire most
F#m                         Bm   E
 The Father, Son and Mickey Most
F#m                          Bm    E
 Took the last train for the coast
F#m                          Bm
 And rendezvoused with Peter Glaze to kill Don Maclean.


[Chorus]

       E                       A
Turned up (turned up), clocked on (clocked on)
       C                    E
Turned up, clocked on, laid off.
                               A
Turned up (turned up), clocked on (clocked on)
       C                    E
Turned up, clocked on, laid off.
     C                       E
Sign on with no hope in your heart
         C                             E
When you walk through a storm, you get wet.
