E
It's difficult. It's very tough.
I said to the man who'd been sleeping rough
A-
To sit within a fragrant breeze
C
All among the nodding trees
DE
That hang heavy with the stuff
E
He threw his arms around my neck
He brushed the tear from my cheek
A-
And held my soft white hand
C
He was an understanding man
DE
He did not even barely hardly speak
D
Easy money
C
Rain it down on the wife and the kids
D
Rain it down on the house where we live
E
Rain until you got nothing left to give
CDE
And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me
EA- CEE
All the things for which my heart yearns
Gives joy in diminishing returns
A-
He kissed me on the mouth
C
His hands they headed south
DE
And my cheek it burned
E
Money, man, it is a bitch
The poor, they spoil it for the rich
A-
With my face pressed in the clover
C
I wondered when this would be over
DE
And at home we are all so guilty-sad
D
Easy money
C
Pour it down the open drain
D
Pour it all through my veins
E
Pour it down, yeah, let it rain
CDE
And pour that ever-loving stuff down on me
(EA- CE) 2 times
E
Now, I'm sitting pretty down on the bank
Life shuffles past at a low interest rate
A-
In the money-coloured meadows
C
And all the interesting shadows
DE
They leap up, then dissipate
D
Easy money
E
Easy money
D
Easy money
C
Rain it down on the wife and the kids
D
Rain it down on the house where we live
E
Rain until you got nothing left to give
CDE
And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me
