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