Gordon Bok - Mister I Dont Mind Chords

[Intro]
G       Dm7  G
C    G  Em
F    G    F    G

[Verse]
G
Mister, I don't mind you calling me a fool
                F                  G
Better men than you have called me more
        C                                   G               Em
But the man that's humping fish out on this flying northern wind
F                              G      F   G
Hasn't got the brains to stay ashore

[Verse]
G
Lord, I think of all them boats, lying down the bay
                F                    G
Riding back and stretching out their chain
      C                               G              Em
And I thank my cosy toes that I ain't on 'em, Mister Man
  F                                     G     F   G
I thank the Flying Pete that they ain't mine

[Verse]
G
Well, you know that I don't mind her beating on my door
                 F                 G
I don't mind her howling 'round my head
        C                                    G            Em
But she drives me and she grieves me all the weary winter day
    F                                 G     F   G
And then she wants to share my lonely bed

[Verse]
G
Piled the foolish snow, four feet up my door
                 F                 G
Scaled my pretty shutters down the bay
C                                G                 Em
Took the poor old shed apart and shingled half the hill
F                                 G     F   G
Now she laughs to see a grown man cry

[Instrumental]
G       Dm7  G
C    G  Em
F    G    F    G

[Verse]
G
You know, I'm pretty sure, where I'm going when I'm done
                     F           G
I'd like to send the message on ahead
C                                   G              Em
Put the coal right to her, keep her jumping up and down
       F                                   G
'Cause that's the way I'll want her when I come
