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.
 
G
Didn't have the money round to buy a Morry Thou
F                             C           G
Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow
G
Begged and borrowed sometimes I admit I even stole
        F                               C              G
But the worst crime that I ever did was playing rock'n'roll
 
        D               F           G
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
        D               F           G
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
 
G
Suffering convictions on a two way stretch inside
F                                 C                G
The air in here in pretty thin, I think I'll go outside
G
Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul
    F                               C                G
The worst crime that I ever did was play some rock'n'roll
 
        D               F           G
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
        D               F           G
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)
 
D      A/D    C/D    F/D    G/D
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... (x3)
D      A/D    C/D    F/D    G
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh...
 
 
keyboard solo:
D A C F G (x4)
 
D      A      C      F      G
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... (x2)
 
 
G
Now I find from week to week the sentence sticking fast
F                                 C                   G
Turn the corner, rub my eyes, and hope the world will last
G
Stranger from another planet, welcome to our hole
F                                   C                  G
Just strap on your guitar and we'll play some rock and roll
 
        D               F           G
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
        D               F           G
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
 
And you should know!
