[Bm]
The moon is hanging in [Em] the purple [F#] sky.
[Bm] Baby's sleeping while [Em] its mother [F#] sighs.
[Em]
[F#] Talking about [Bm] the rich folks.
Rich folks [Em] have the same jokes,
[F#] and they park in [Bm] basic places.
The priest is preaching from a [Em] shallow
[F#] grave.
[Bm]
He counts his money, [Em] then he paints you, [F#] saves it.
[Em] [F#] Talking to [Bm] the young folks.
Young folks share the [Em] same jokes,
[F#] but they meet in [Bm] older places.
So
[Em] don't [F#] tell me [Bm] about your success,
[Em] [F#] nor your recipes for [Bm] my happiness.
[Em] [F#] Smoking bad, I [Bm] never could digest
the
[Em] illusions [F#] you claim to [Bm] have going.
The sun is shining [Em] as it's always [F#] done.
[Bm] Coffin dust is a [Em] faithless reverend.
[F#]
Talking [Em]
[F#] about [Bm] the rich folks.
The poor create [Em] the rich hoax,
[F#] and only laid-breast men fools [Bm] believe it.
[Em] So don't [F#] tell me [Bm] about your success,
[Em] [F#] nor your recipes for [Bm] my happiness.
[Em] [F#] Smoking bad, I [Bm] never could digest
the [Em] illusions [F#] you claim to have [Bm] going.
[Em] [F#]
[Bm] [N]
