Intro: E5 / A5 /  |  E5 / D5 A5  |  E5 / A5 /  |  E5    /  D5    A5  |  |  x2
                    [2nd time: "I got lost in the . . ."]

VERSE I:

[I got lost in the] back-streets
                    E5            A5
Trying to get here tonight
E5             A5        E5    A5 
The police were asking questions
E5               A5      E5         A5
They took me to the wrong place twice
     E5              A5           E5      A5
I even lost my passport
E5              A5       D( A5 )*
And I forgot my name and town
    A5                   E5     A5     E5
But now I'm here by the water
            G5    D( F# )  E5     D5      C5
Put the money down
D5                  E5     A5    E5    A5    E5    A5    E5
Before I walk on the water
                     F#5 G#5 A5
Put the money down, down, down
              G5     D( F# ) E5
There are bands killing chickens
                        F#5  G#5  A5
My heros getting pushed around, 'round, 'round
                         G5       D( F# )   E5
I don't know if I trust you
                  A5        D( A5 )*
As you try to shoot me down
A5                       E5   A5   E5
Before I walk on the water
                     F#5 G#5 A5
Put the money down, down, down
              G5     D( F# ) C( E5 )
Put the money down.
D5                   E5 / A5 /  |  E5 / D5 A5  |

BRIDGE:

'Twas a beautiful day in Columbus when the fences fell
        C5                                         G5
But the five loaves and fishes ain't gonna be much help
        D5                                           A5
I've got a hungry juggler here who wants to keep ahead
           C5                                       G5
Before he walks the water, he wants his bread.
  D5                                      A5

VERSE II:

[Take a glass of that] nice brown ale
                       E5          A5
And a purple pill
E5     A5      E5    A5
If the ale don't get you too
E5      A5         E5       A5
Sure as hell the pill will
E5       A5             E5     A5
Oh mummy mummy
E5         A5    D( A5 )*
Please may I go down town
A5              E5    A5    E5
He's gonna walk on the water
           G5    D( F# )  E5   D5   C5
Put the money down
D5                 E5 / A5 /  |  E5 / A5 /  |  E5 / A5 /  |  E5 / / /  |  |  
                                           ["Put it down!"]

[Before I walk on the] water
                       F#5 G#5 A5
Put the money down, down, down
              G5     D( F# ) E5
There are bands killing chickens
                        F#5  G#5  A5
My heros getting pushed around, 'round, 'round
                         G5       D( F# )   E5
I don't know if I trust you
                  A5        D( A5 )*
As you try to shoot me down
A5                         E5    A5     E5
Before I walk on the water
