Am Am/B C

Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

[Verse 1]

Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

It's difficult. It's very tough.

Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

I said to the man who'd been sleeping rough

Am Am/B

To sit within a fragrant breeze

All among the nodding trees

D Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

That hang heavy with the stuff

[Verse 2]

Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

He threw his arms around my neck

Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

He brushed the tear from my cheek

Am Am/B

And held my soft white hand

He was an understanding man

D Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

He did not even barely hardly speak

[Chorus]

D D/C D/B D/A

Easy money

Rain it down on the wife and the kids

Rain it down on the house where we live

Rain until you got nothing left to give

C D Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me

[Instrumental]

Am Am/B C

Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

[Verse 3]

Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

All the things for which my heart yearns

Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

Gives joy in diminishing returns

He kissed me on the mouth

His hands they headed south

D Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

And my cheek it burned

[Verse 4]

Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

Money, man, it is a bitch

Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

The poor, they spoil it for the rich

With my face pressed in the clover

I wondered when this would be over

D Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

And at home we are all so guilty-sad

[Chorus]

D D/C D/H D/A

Easy money

Pour it down the open drain

Pour it all through my veins

[Verse 5]

Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

Now, I'm sitting pretty down on the bank

Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

Life shuffles past at a low interest rate

In the money-coloured meadows

And all the interesting shadows

D Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

They leap up and dissipate

[Chorus]

D D/C D/B D/A

Easy money

Em Em/D Em/C Em/B

Easy money

D D/C

Easy money

Rain it down on the wife and the kids

Rain it down on the house where we live

Rain until you got nothing left to give
