its money that matters — текст песни (newman randy)

From: spurgeon@is2.nyu.edu (Keith Spurgeon)

This is my first post of chords, so I`m praying
the lines w/ chords and the lines w/ words roughly
match up.

Someone (sorry didn`t catch name, cause I`m new
to this game) posted a request for the chords to
It`s Money That Matters by Randy Newman, from the
recording Land of Dreams (Reprise 25773--a few bad tunes, but a few
really great tunes, so buy it!). The
poster can e-mail me for clarification.

I welcome all corrections, suggestions, praise, and flames at my
e-mail address.

Here is a condensation of the chords for the
tune. It`s pretty much a cycle tune, so I didn`t include all lyrics
and verses.

Notes: The verse merely cycles through D-A-G-D
(with two beats per chord, but note that the D
chord repeats at beginning and end of each cycle). What Newman
calls the Chorus (where he sings It`s money that
matters) follows the same D-A-G-D pattern.

What I have called Bridge I is pretty
straightforward, but what I have called Bridge II
is actually a little riff section, so the chords
are deceptive. I will spell the notes in the C-no third riff
(pretty wimpy thing to call a riff) so you can get
it a little better. For the C no third chord,
don`t even bother playing a chord, just play the
riff notes, duplicated in all the octaves you can
spare (within reason).

Bridge I appears only once in the song. Bridge
II comes twice: once after Bridge I (and a short turnaround), and once
after the third verse.

You`re on your own to sound like Mark Knopfler
does on the recording.

It`s Money That Matters
Randy Newman


D A G D
Of all of the people

that I used to know

Most never adjusted

BRIDGE I

Bmin A G
All of these people are much brighter than I

Bmin A G
In any fair system they would flourish and thrive

But they barely survive

They eke out a living

Adim Bmin
And they barely survive

Bmin A G D/F (<- turnaround into first occurence of Bridge II)


Bridge II

A (no third) C no third (riff: g c c c d)
When I was a young boy


A (no third) C no third (riff: g c c c d)
Maybe thirteen

A (no third) C no third (riff: g c c c d)
I took a hard look around me


A (no third) C no third (riff: g c c c d)
and asked what does it mean?


D A G D
So I talked to my father

D A G D
and he didn`t know.

etc.


(Note: Bridge II repeats after third verse)

[I checked the layout after I pulled this into my news editor,and the
chords and lines seem to match up pretty well. We`ll see how well it nets.]
