Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
keyboard riff of D A C F G (whole band come in on the G).
guitar stays on the chord of G, while the keyboard riff is played another
three times.
Didn't have the money round to buy a Morry Thou
Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow
Begged and borrowed sometimes I admit I even stole
But the worst crime that I ever did was playing rock'n'roll
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
Suffering convictions on a two way stretch inside
The air in here in pretty thin, I think I'll go outside
Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul
The worst crime that I ever did was play some rock'n'roll
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
And you should know!
(during this bit, the guitar and bass stay on D while
the keyboard plays the chords)
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... (x3)
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh...
Keyboard solo
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... (x2)
Now I find from week to week the sentence sticking fast
Turn the corner, rub my eyes, and hope the world will last
Stranger from another planet, welcome to our hole
Just strap on your guitar and we'll play some rock and roll
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
And you should know!
(during this bit, the guitar and bass stay on D while
the keyboard plays the chords)
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... (x3)
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh...
Keyboard solo
end on F/G.
