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 (320003@1)   
Didn't have the money round to buy a Morry Thou
F (133211@1)                           C (x32010@1)         GBeen (320003@1)around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow
G (320003@1)
Begged and borrowed sometimes I admit I even stole
        F (133211@1)                             C (x32010@1)            GBut (320003@1)the worst crime that I ever did was playing rock'n'roll

        D (xx0232@1)             F (133211@1)         GBut (320003@1)the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
        D (xx0232@1)             F (133211@1)         GBut (320003@1)the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself

G (320003@1)Suffering convictions on a two way stretch inside
F (133211@1)                               C (x32010@1)              GThe (320003@1)air in here in pretty thin, I think I'll go outside
G (320003@1)Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul
    F (133211@1)                             C (x32010@1)              GThe (320003@1)worst crime that I ever did was play some rock'n'roll

        D (xx0232@1)             F (133211@1)         GBut (320003@1)the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
        D (xx0232@1)             F (133211@1)         GBut (320003@1)the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
