[Verse]
A
15th heir to the  ball and chain
F#m                  D
House full of hungry kids to his name
A
Everything to lose and nothing to gain
F#m       D           A
Long reign Alfred the Great

(Riff)

A
Touched his toes to the company store
F#m                   D
Scrub till he see his face in the floor
A
Lost his place to a foot in the door
F#m       D          A
Long reign Alfred the Great

[Bridge]
E                                  F#m
Never been to good with words oh no
         E                                               D
Said you don't need a doctor you don't need a doctor to show

[Chorus]
D      F#m
It's a hard, hard road
D            F#m
When you're folks ain't cracked the code
D        F#m
And your tears don't put
C           E
Food on the plate,
G                 D
Alfred the Great, watch out


intrumental part (I don't knowww...)

[Verse]
Ever get the feeling you been stitched up?
Textbook case of bad, bad luck
There's a hole in your bucket and cracks in your cup
Long reign Alfred the Great

Touched his toes down the company store
Scrubbed till he see his face in the floor
He ain't gonna dance for the suits no more
Long reign Alfred the Great

[Bridge] 
[Chorus] x 3

Food on the plate, Alfred the Great, watch out
