Am Em C F F x2
Am Em C F
It was early in the morning when the battle horse arrived.
Am Em C F
And he embraced Sarah, who was the bride of his old age
Am Em C F
And Sarah hugged Billy, who was born of her sweet, sweet womb
C F
And no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C F
And no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C F
And no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C Em
Until I've got money in my hand...
Am Em C F
It was silence that begot them, the purpose of their ways
Am Em C F
Lord, the Father, the Beggar, with his two, two hands
Am Em C F
From that time, the post will pull, and push against the sky
Am Em C F
But, oh baby, baby I know, I know that the night's too slow,
C F
And no-no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C F
And no-no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C F
And no-no-no-no-nobody shall die,
C Em
'Til I've got money in my hand,
C Em
'Til I've got money in my hand,
C Em
'Til I've got money in my hand,
C Em
'Til I've got money in my hand,
C Em
Oh I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
C Em
I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
C Em
I was a singer, and I sang in your home,
C Em
But it don't mean nothing man, nothing man, until you got some money in your hand,
Oh oh...
C Em
(till the end)
