Chords

B [Verse 1]
E
Robert owes half to Grenville

        A                  F#m    F#
Who, in turn, gave half to Larry, who

D               G
Adored my instrumentals

    A                    D
And so he gave half to a foreign publisher

E
He took half the money

         A                  F#m     F#
That was earned in some far distant land

D                 G
Gave back half to Larry

    A             D                     [ G ]
And I end up with half of goodness knows what
[Bridge]
G                Bm
  Can somebody explain

                      G7
Why things go on this way?

                       C
I thought they were my friends

                     Em
I can't believe it's me

                     F      C
I can't believe that I'm so green
[Chorus]
G
Eyes down, round and round

G                           D
Let's all sit and watch the money-go-round

D               A                     G          F#
Everyone take a little bit here and a little bit there

G
Do they all deserve 

G                              D
Money from a song that they've never heard?

     D                            A
They don't know the tune and they don't know the words

         G            F#
But they don't give a damn

G
There's no end to it

G                    D
I'm in a pit and I'm stuck in it

    D                      A
The money goes 'round and around and around

       G         F#
And it comes out here

B                            [ E ]             
When they've all taken their share
[Verse 2]
| E | A    F#m F# |
(instrumental)

  D               G 
I went to see a solicitor

       A                       D
And my story was heard and the writs were served

       E
On the verge of a nervous breakdown

  A                      F#m    F#
I decided to fight right to the end

    D                G
But if I ever get my money

     A              D
I'll be too old and grey to spend it
[Bridge]
G                        Bm
Oh, but life goes on and on

                G7
And no one ever wins

                      C
And time goes quickly by

                       Em
Just like the money-go-round

                 F        C
I only hope that I'll survive
