Version 1
            ( throughout the verses, a quick F#/E before a G/E can be played throughout on the E chord 
 E
     When Black Friday comes
     I'll stand down by the door
      And catch the grey men when they
      Dive from the fourteenth floor 
E
When Black Friday comes
I'll collect everything I'm owed
And before my friends find out 
I'll be on the road
     A     G6      F#7                 G6    Ebm7   A/D  A/B
When Black Friday falls you know it's got to be
                     
Don't let it fall on me
E
When Black Friday comes
I'll fly down to Muswellbrook
Gonna strike all the big red words
From my little black book
E
Gonna do just what I please
Gonna wear no socks and shoes
With nothing to do but feed
All the kangaroos
 
     A     G6       F#7         G6       Ebm7    A/D    A/B
When Black Friday comes I'll be on that hill
            E
You know I will
E
When Black Friday comes
I'm gonna dig myself a hole
Gonna lay down in it 'til
I satisfy my soul
E
Gonna let the world pass by me
The Archbishop's gonna sanctify me
And if he don't come across
I'm gonna let it roll
      A     G6      F#7           G6       Ebm7    A/D   A/B
When Black Friday comes I'm gonna stake my claim
B7                         
I'll guess I'll change my name
