[Intro]

C#m Bm

[Verse 1]

C#m Bm C#m Bm C#m Bm C#m Bm

Can any-one lend me ten billion quid?

F#m E F#m E F#m E F#m E

Why do you look so glum? Was it some-thing I did?

Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm A

So I caused a second great depression, what can I say

Bm A D B7

I guess I got a bit carried away

If I say I’m sorry will you give me the money?

[Chorus]

A A/G# A/F# D/E

You know me, the complete banker

A A/G# A/F# D/E

In a black Bentley, sweet Samantha riding

A A/G# A/F# D/E Bm Esus4 E A

Next to me, oh how I hanker for the good old days (good old days)

A A/G# A/F# D/E

When I was free, the complete banker

A A/G# A/F# D/E A A/G#

In my Armani, before the rancour and disharmony

A/G A/F# Dm E A

Well money makes the world go round and round and down the drain

[Verse 2]

C#m Bm C#m Bm C#m Bm C#m Bm

We went to war on the floor of the exchange

F#m E F#m E F#m E F#m E

To all of us it was just a big game

Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm A

But God I loved it: making a profit from somebody's loss

Bm A/C# D B7

I never knew exactly whose money it was

And I did not care as long as there was

[Chorus]

Lots for me, the complete banker

In a black Bentley, sweet Samantha riding

Next to me, oh how I hanker for the good old days (good old days)

A A/G# A/F# D/E

When I was free, the complete banker

A A/G# A/F# D/E A A/G#

In my Armani, before the anger and the inquiries

Well money makes the world go round and round and down the drain

C#m Bm

[Verse 3]

C#m Bm C#m Bm C#m Bm C#m Bm

We'll learn the lessons, run tests and analyze

F#m E F#m E F#m E F#m E

We'll crunch the numbers, 'cause the numbers never lie

Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm A

Well maybe this recession is a blessing in disguise

Bm A/C# D B7

We can build a much much bigger bubble the next time

And leave the rest to clean our mess up

[Chorus]

A A/G# A/F# D/E

Well that’s just me, the complete banker

A A/G# A/F# D/E

In a black Bentley, Magaret Thatcher riding

A A/G# A/F# D/E Bm Esus4 E A

Next to me, oh how I hanker for the good old days (good old days)

A A/G# A/F# D/E

When I was free, the complete banker

A A/G# A/F# D/E

I’m a conscience-free malignant cancer

A A/G# A/G A/F# Dm

On society And one day you’ll let your guard down

And I’ll come round again
