[Intro]
| Em | % |
Em The Pound is sinking Bm Em The Peso's falling Bm Em The Lira's reeling Am And feeling quite appalling
[Verse 1]
G G/F# The Mark is holding Em The Franc is fading Am The Drachma's very weak D D/C D/B D/A But everyone's still trading G F G The market's bottom has fallen right out F | G F | G F | Em | Em7 | And only the strong are survivors
[Interlude 1]
Em Well, I fear my dear that it's eminently clear C | Em | That you can't see the trees for the forest Em Am Your father was an extraordinary man D G But you don't seem to have inherited
5/8 5/8
C Em | C | Em | Many of his mannerisms
5/8
C Em Oh, any of his mannerisms
[Verse 2]
G G/F# The Dollar's moving Em The Ruble's rising Am The Yen is keeping up D D/C D/B D/A Which hardly seems surprising G F G The market's bottom has fallen right out F | G F | G F | And only the stout are survivors
[Interlude 2]
Em B7 Hear me, my lover Dm6 G7 I can't be held responsible now D A For something that didn't happen D D/C D/B D/A I knew you for a minute
3/4
G Em Oh it didn't happen C Bm Only for a minute Em Bm7 C Your heart just wasn't in it anymore, mmh, mmh, mmh
[Outro]
Em The Pound is sinking Bm Em The Peso's falling Bm Em The Lira's reeling Am And feeling quite appalling
