Chords with lyrics

Paul McCartney
The Pound is Sinking
Tug of War, 1982

F minorFm         C majorC FF
  The pound is sinking,
F minorFm        C majorC FF
the peso's failing
F minorFm           Bb majorBb
The lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling

AbAb
The mark is holding,
FF
the franc is fading
Bb majorBb             Eb MajorEb
The drachma's very weak but everyone's still trading
AbAb      F#F#            AbAb
The market's bottom has fallen right out
       F#F#         AbAb F#F# FF
And only the strong are survivors

    C majorC    F minorFm
Well, I fear my dear that it's eminently clear
     DbDb             F minorFm
That you can't see the trees for the forest
   C minorCm       BbmBbm        Eb MajorEb
Your father was an extraordinary man but you don't seem
         DbDb      F minorFm     DbDb F minorFm
To have inherited many of his mannerisms
  DbDb     F minorFm
Oh, any of his mannerisms

AbAb
The dollar's moving,
FF
the ruble's rising
Bb majorBb             Eb MajorEb
The yen is keeping up which hardly seems surprising
AbAb      F#F#           AbAb
The market's bottom has fallen right out
       F#F#          AbAb
And only the strong are survivors

F minorFm   C majorC    Eb MajorEb            AbAb
Hear me lover, I can't be held responsible now
  BbmBbm       AbAb
For something that didn't happen
 Eb MajorEb           AbAb     F minorFm
I knew you for a minute, oh it didn't happen
DbDb     C minorCm      F minorFm         C minorCm       DbDb
Only for a minute, your heart just wasn't in it anymore

F minorFm       C majorC FF
The pound is sinking,
F minorFm       C majorC FF
the peso's failing
F minorFm           Bb majorBb            F minorFm
The lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling
