C7                           F7
     Well, money's gettin' cheaper, prices

     gettin' steeper
        C7                      C7
     Found myself a woman but I just coundn't

     keep her
       F7                         F7
     Times gettin' tougher than tough
        C7                         Em7  A7
     Things gettin' rougher than rough
       Dm7                     G7
     I make a lot of money, I just keep spendin'
           C7   Am7   Dm7   G7
     The Stuff
            C7
     Well, pork chops on the market,
               F7
     ask the butcher for a pound
        C7
     Couldn't buy a pork chop
              C7
     when I laid my money down
       F7                         F7
     Times gettin' tougher than tough
       C7                          Em7   A7
     Things gettin' rougher than rough
       Dm7                  G7
     I make a lot of money, just keep spendin'
           C7   Am7   Dm7   G7
     the stuff
             C7
     Well, politicians are tellin' folks
        F7
     to cut out on their meat
          C7                           C7
     Why don't they cut the price an' let the

     people eat?
       F7                         F7
     Times gettin' tougher than tough
       C7                          Em7   A7
     Things gettin' rougher than rough
        Dm7                    G7
     I make a lot of money, I just keep spendin'
           C7   Am7   Dm7   G7
     the stuff
              C7                      F7
     Well, I can't afford to live, I guess I'll have

     to try
       C7                              C7
     Undertaker's got a union, and it costs to

     much to die
       F7                        F7
     Times gettin' tougher than tough
       C7                          Em7   A7
     Things gettin' rougher than rough
       Dm7                    G7
     I make a lot of money, I just keep spendin'
           C7   Am7   Dm7   G7
