It's difficult, it's very though		|Em|Em/D|Em/C|Em/B
I said to the man who'd been sleeping rough	|Em|Em/D|Em/C
To sit within a fragrant breeze			|Em/B|Am|Am
All among the nodding trees			|C|C
That hang heavy with the stuff			|D|D|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		|Em|Em/D|Em/C
And held my soft white hand			|Em/B|Am|Am
He was an understanding man			|C|C
He did not even barely hardly speak		|D|D|Em|Em/D|Em/C

Easy money					|Em/B|D|D/C|D/B|D/A
Rain it down on the wife and the kids		|C|C
Rain it down on the house where we live		|D|D
Rain until you got nothing left to give		|Em|Em
And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me	|C|D|Em|Em/D|Em/C*|Em/B*
						|Am*|Am*|C*|C*
						|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		|Em|Em/D|Em/C
He kissed me on the mouth			|Em/B|Am|Am
His hands they headed south			|C|C
And my cheek it burned				|D|D|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		|Em|Em/D|Em/C
With my face pressed in the clover		|Em/B|Am|Am
I wondered when this would be over		|C|C
And at home we are all so guilty-sad		|D|D|Em|Em/D|Em/C

Easy money					|Em/B|D|D/C|D/B|D/A
Pour it down on the open drain			|C|C
Pour it all through my veins			|D|D
Pour it down, yeah, let it rain			|Em|Em
And pour that ever-loving stuff down on me	|C|D|Em|Em/D|Em/C*|Em/B*
						|Am*|Am*|C*|C*
						|Em|Em/D|Em/C*|Em/B*
						|Am*|Am*|C*|C*
						|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	|Em|Em/D|Em/C
In the money-coloured meadows			|Em/B|Am|Am
And all the interesting shadows			|C|C
They leap up, then dissipate			|D|D|Em|Em/D|Em/C

Easy money					|Em/B|D|D/C|D/B|D/A
Easy money					|Em|Em/D|Em/C|Em/B
Easy money					|D|D/C 
Rain it down on the wife and the kids		|C|C
Rain it down on the house where we live		|D|D
Rain until you got nothing left to give		|Em|Em
And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me	|C|D|Em|Em/D|Em/C
