CHORUS A E And We'll sing hallelujah A E At the turning of the year A E/G# F#m D E And we work all day in the old fashioned way D E A 'Til the shining star appears A man is like a briar He covers himself with thorns he laughs like a clown when his fortunes are down And his clothes are ragged and torn CHORUS A man is like a three string fiddle Hanging on the wall. He plays when somebody scrapes on the bow Or he can't play at all. CHORUS A man is like his father Wishes he'd never been born. He longs for the time when the clock bell will chime And he's dead for evermore. CHORUS
