intro: keyboard riff of D A C F G (whole band come in on the G).

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)

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!
