Bait Up Jez Lowe (Em) (D) (Em) (D) (Em) (D) (Cj7) The (Em)village clock chimed (D)Home in Bed, The (Em) old man spat and (D)swore. I've been (Em)out to paint the (D)town, he said, But the (Cj7)town isn´t (D)there any (Cj7)more. (Em) Can I walk be(D)side you, Though you're (Em)keen to be on your (Bm)way? You must (Am)have someone that (Bm)waits for you At the (D)end of this long (Cj7)day. (Em)Rest (D)young (C)man, In the shadow of the (D)clock we (Em)stand, And I (C)feel it (C/B)creeping (Am)dark a(Am/G)cross my (D) brow. I wish I (Am)had some(C)one to (Bm)put me bait up (Cj7)now. (Em) My house, he said, will be (D)empty, The (Em)grate will be long since (D)cold. (Em) I might be my own (D)master, But I´m a (Cj7)slave (D) to getting (Cj7)old. It's a (Em)long time since I (D)woke up To (Em)nowt but a lonely (Bm)night, A (Am)long time since me (Bm)bait was waiting, (D)Wrapped up neat and (Cj7)tight. (Em)Rest (D)young (C)man, In the shadow of the (D)clock we (Em)stand, And I (C)feel it (C/B)creeping (Am)dark a(Am/G)cross my (D) brow. I wish I (Am)had some(C)one to (Bm)put me bait up (Cj7)now. (Em) I've walked my share of (D)young girls home A(Em)cross this wintry (D)dark, (Em) And had to leave them (D)sleeping So as (Cj7)not to be (D)late for (Cj7)work. I (Em)sometimes dream they (D)lie there still, So (Em)soft and warm and (Bm)young, But I (Am)guess they're old and (Bm)grey like me. (D) Or even dead and (Cj7)gone. (Em)Rest (D)young (C)man, In the shadow of the (D)clock we (Em)stand, And I (C)feel it (C/B)creeping (Am)dark a(Am/G)cross my (D) brow. I wish I (Am)had some(C)one to (Bm)put me bait up (Cj7)now. (Em) (D) (Em) (D) (Em) (D) (Cj7) (Em) My father used to (D)warn me, (Em) I thought that he was (D)mad He said, (Em) Times that make you (D)happy Just turn (Cj7)round and (D)make you (Cj7)sad. (Em) I really shouldn't (D)drink this much, At (Em)my age, it's just not (Bm)right. But I'm (Am)tireder than two (Bm)deputies, (D) I haven't eaten a (Cj7)bite. (Em)Rest (D)young (C)man, In the shadow of the (D)clock we (Em)stand, And I (C)feel it (C/B)creeping (Am)dark a(Am/G)cross my (D) brow. I wish I (Am)had some(C)one to (Bm)put me bait up (Cj7)now.
