Artist: Fairport Convention
[INTRO]
[G] [C] [G] [C] [D] x2
[VERSE]
When you [G]think I'm doing nothing
And you feel up for a [C]fight
It's [G]me you should be trusting
'Cause you [C]know I'll get it [D]right
[VERSE]
Won't you [G]listen to my story
How the Devil took my [C]hand
And [G]led me to a bench and vise
[C]Where I made my [D]stand
[CHORUS]
[D]I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day
Shoring up this house of god, while [C]life it slips a[D]way
[D]I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day
Shoring up this house of god, while [C]life it slips a[D]way
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[G] [C] [G] [C] [D] x2
[VERSE]
Well, I [G]could have been a builder
With muscles for a [C]heart
I'm [G]making straight lines for you
Or [C]digging turf and [D]sod
[VERSE]
Just [G]look at that musician
How soft his hands must [C]be
There [G]is no intuition
Per[C]form it too like [D]me
[CHORUS]
[D]I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day
Shoring up this house of god, while [C]life it slips a[D]way
[D]I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day
Shoring up this house of god, while [C]life it slips a[D]way
[VERSE]
Oh, the [G]power and the glory
The pleasure and the [C]pain
That [G]Scandinavian's got it made
I'm [C]buying stuff for [D]debt
[VERSE]
When you [G]think I'm doing nothing
I'm still up for a [C]fight
It's [G]me you should be trusting
'Cause you [C]know I'll get it [D]right
[VERSE]
Won't you [G]listen to my story
How the Devil took my [C]hand
And [G]led me to a bench and vise
[C]Where I made my [D]stand
[CHORUS]
[D]I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day
Shoring up this house of god, while [C]life it slips a[D]way
Yes, [D]I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day
Shoring up this house of god, while [C]life it slips a[D]way
