     This is a great tune with a jazzy blues feel
     and fun lyrics. Try substituting C9 for C7 played
     on the third fret. You can slide into the cord from
     above or below as well you can slide down into F7.
     Going from the 7th fret to the 5th and 3rd on the turnaround
     Is an ear pleaser. Have fun!!
     WeC7ll, money's gettin' cheaper, F7prices
     gettin' steeper
     FouC7nd myself a woman but I C7just coundn't
     keep her
     TiF7mes gettin' tougher than toF7ugh
     ThiC7ngs gettin' rougher than roEm7ughA7  
     I Dm7make a lot of money, I jG7ust keep spendin'
     The StC7uffAm7  Dm7  G7  
     Well, pC7ork chops on the market,
     ask the buF7tcher for a pound
     CouC7ldn't buy a pork chop
     when I laC7id my money down
     TiF7mes gettin' tougher than toF7ugh
     ThC7ings gettin' rougher than roEm7ughA7  
     I Dm7make a lot of money, G7just keep spendin'
     the stC7uffAm7  Dm7  G7  
     Well, poC7liticians are tellin' folks
     to F7cut out on their meat
     Why dC7on't they cut the price an' lC7et the
     people eat?
     TiF7mes gettin' tougher than toF7ugh
     ThC7ings gettin' rougher than roEm7ughA7  
     I mDm7ake a lot of money, I jG7ust keep spendin'
     the stC7uffAm7  Dm7  G7  
     Well, I cC7an't afford to live, I gF7uess I'll have
     to try
     UnC7dertaker's got a union, and it cC7osts to
     much to die
     TiF7mes gettin' tougher than tF7ough
     ThC7ings gettin' rougher than roEm7ughA7
