You Don’t Need Money - Roy Harper
All the verses use the same chord progression, but the last one ends on a hanging D chord.
DNobody’s gAot any Gmoney in the sumDmer,
DOh dear me, what a terrible dragA  
DI couldn’t Aget vGery much nummer tDhan in summer
BbBeseeching the rent maAn
BbTo be soft as he canA  
DmCos I’ve got a little money coming when I sell Amy M.B.E
All the folkie student population wearing rucksacks
Taking my meal ticket over the seas
Half the blasted idiots are stuck in Yugoslavia
With hardly a Dina
And looking no cleaner
Than a Chinese wrestler’s jockstrap cooked in chip fat on a greasy day
Em7b5                           Nat. harmonic 12 fret
Think what money can do for my tummy
Em7b5                           Nat. harmonic 12 fret
Think my tummy can do for my mind
Em7b5                           Nat. harmonic 12 fret
Think what a man can do for the world
Em7b5                           Nat. harmonic 12 fret
For the stars and infinity
Has anybody got any money for the strummer?
I won’t need much in my parasol shade
But I could have used  a million quid a year ago last summer
To grace the Bahamas                    (With Al Stewart)
In see through pyjamas                  (With Al Stewart)
But never mind, I’m worth two buns, a sherbet and a liquorish root
Nobody’s got any money in the summer
Oh dear me, stoned out my head in the park I’d say
But nobody needs any money in the summer
Except of course for scoring
