"Silas Stingy" from The Who Sell Out transcribed by [email protected] [Verse]
Dm          Dm/A                 C/G       C/E
Once upon a time, there lived an old miser man

       Dm      F     G   Em
By the name of Silas Stingy

   Dm              Am         G            C
He carried all his money in a little black box,

          Dm         Bb          C      Am
Which was heavy as a rock with a big padlock

        Bb                G          Am         F
All the little kids would shout when Silas was about
[Chorus]
Em          F           Gm          Am
Money money money bags, money money money bags

Dm      C  Bb Am  F   Bb        Am  G     Dm/F Dm
There goes mingy  Stingy, there goes mingy  Stin-gy

Em          F           Gm          Am
Money money money bags, money money money bags

Dm         C     Am  F   Bb       Am G    F/A  Dm/F
There goes mingy  Stingy, there goes mingy  Stin-gy
[Verse]
Dm          Dm/A                 C/G       C/E
Silas didn't eat, which was just as well

       Dm      F     G   Em
He would starve himself for a penny

   Dm              Am         G            C
He wore old clothes and he never washed

          Dm         Bb        C            Am
'Cause soap cost a lot and the dirt kept him hot 

        Bb                G          Am         F
All the little kids would shout When Silas was about
[Chorus]
Em          F           Gm          Am
Money money money bags, money money money bags

Dm      C  Bb Am  F   Bb        Am  G     Dm/F Dm
There goes mingy  Stingy, there goes mingy  Stin-gy

Em          F           Gm          Am
Money money money bags, money money money bags

Dm         C     Am  F   Bb       Am G    F/A  Dm/F
There goes mingy  Stingy, there goes mingy  Stin-gy

D5 D5  C#5  D5 D5  C#5  D5  D5 C#5   D5 D5 C#5
In the back of his head was a  voice that said,

 G5  F#5 F5   E5 Eb5 D5  Bb5
"Someone will steal  it  all

D5    D5 C#5   D5 D5  C#5    D5   D5 C#5 D5 D5 C#5
He'll be lying in the gutter with an empty  box,

    G5      F#5  F5 E5 Eb5 D5 C5
The thieves will be having a  ball"
[Verse]
            Dm              A            Bb               F
He bought a safe to put the box in and a house to put the safe in

      Gm            Dm                  Am
And a watchdog on a chain to make quite sure

        Bb            F             Gm             Dm
And his face was very funny when he counted up his money

       Bb                     Am
And he realized he hadn't any more
[Chorus]
Em          F           Gm          Am
Money money money bags, money money money bags

Dm      C  Bb Am  F   Bb        Am  G     Dm/F Dm
There goes mingy  Stingy, there goes mingy  Stin-gy

Em          F           Gm          Am
Money money money bags, money money money bags

Dm         C     Am  F   Bb       Am G    F/A  Dm/F
There goes mingy  Stingy, there goes mingy  Stin-gy

Bb          Am  G  A   D
There goes mingy  Stingy
