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