From the double album "Abattoir Blues"/"Lyre of Orpheus" (2004) [Intro] Em Em/D Em/C Em/B Em Em/D Em/C Em/B Am Am/B C Em Em/D Em/C Em/B Am Am/B C Em Em/D Em/C Em/B [Verse 1]
Em                    Em/D        Em/C   Em/B
It's difficult. It's very tough.

   Em                          Em/D         Em/C   Em/B
I said to the man who'd been sleeping rough

                           Am    Am/B
To sit within a fragrant breeze

C
   All among the nodding trees

D                             Em   Em/D  Em/C   Em/B
   That hang heavy with the stuff
[Verse 2]
Em                 Em/D          Em/C   Em/B
He threw his arms around my neck

Em                  Em/D         Em/C   Em/B
He brushed the tear from my cheek

                        Am   Am/B
And held my soft white hand

C
   He was an understanding man

D                                  Em   Em/D   Em/C   Em/B
   He did not even barely hardly speak
[Chorus]
      D   D/C  D/B   D/A
Easy money

C
Rain it down on the wife and the kids

D
Rain it down on the house where we live

Em
Rain until you got nothing left to give

     C                      D           Em   Em/D   Em/C   Em/B
And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me
[Instrumental] Am Am/B C Em Em/D Em/C Em/B [Verse 3]
Em                  Em/D           Em/C   Em/B
All the things for which my heart yearns

Em                 Em/D          Em/C   Em/B
Gives joy in diminishing returns

                      Am
He kissed me on the mouth

C
  His hands they headed south

D                  Em   Em/D   Em/C   Em/B
   And my cheek it burned
[Verse 4]
Em             Em/D        Em/C   Em/B
Money, man, it is a bitch

Em                      Em/D         Em/C   Em/B
The poor, they spoil it for the rich

                                Am
With my face pressed in the clover

C
I wondered when this would be over

D                                 Em Em/D Em/C  Em/B
And at home we are all so guilty-sad
[Chorus]
      D   D/C  D/H   D/A
Easy money

C
Pour it down the open drain

D
Pour it all through my veins

Em
Pour it down, yeah, let it rain

     C              D                   Em  Em/D  Em/C  Em/B
And pour that ever-loving stuff down on me
[Instrumental] Am Am/B C Em Em/D Em/C Em/B Am Am/B C Em Em/D Em/C Em/B [Verse 5]
Em                Em/D                  Em/C   Em/B
Now, I'm sitting pretty down on the bank

Em             Em/D                  Em/C   Em/B
Life shuffles past at a low interest rate

                        Am
In the money-coloured meadows

C
  And all the interesting shadows

D                        Em  Em/D  Em/C   Em/B
They leap up and dissipate
[Chorus]
      D   D/C  D/B   D/A
Easy money

      Em  Em/D  Em/C   Em/B
Easy money

       D    D/C
Easy money

C
Rain it down on the wife and the kids

D
Rain it down on the house where we live

Em
Rain until you got nothing left to give

     C              D                   Em  Em/D  Em/C  Em/B
And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me
[Outro]
      C      D
Easy money

       Em  Em/D   Em/C  Em/B
Easy money
