Intro:
G     C     G     C

Verse:
G                              Em
Oh Never give your money to no musician.  (Oh no!)
        C                                 D
They'll blow it all on guitar strings and bread.  (Mmmm, bread)
       G              C                   Em            D
If you want a sound investment, then your money will be best spent
     Eb              F                D
on a slot machine or roulette wheel instead.  (Oh I've got one)

Verse:
G                               Em
Don't you give your money to no explorer. (Go Ernest!)
  C                                   D
Adventure fills the heart but not the purse.  (That's right)
      G                    C               Em          D
He'll tell you there'll be riches, and the polar ice bewitches,
           Eb                  F                 G
But you'll lose your shirt and all your cash, or worse.  (Good one)

Bridge:
            C           D
They'll say anything to change your mind,
        G                    F
They'll tell you how they're in a bind,
G                  C                  G
How they're on the verge of something great!  (Uh huh!)
C                    D
Then they'll promise you the moon,
    Em                     C
the rent comes due they'll change their tune
    C                          D
And then you realize it's much too late.

Verse:
   E                           C#m
Oh Never give your money to no musician.  (Or explorer)
              A                                   B
Don't give us dollars, sheckles, pesos, pounds or yen.
          E               A                     C#m        B
'Cause despite our best intentions, you'll need legal interventions,
       C              D          E
if you ever want that money back again.

Bridge:
            A                  B
Because you know we ain't like other folks,
   E                 D
we push and pull and pry and coax
    E               B          E
The beauty from the boring and mundane.
A                    B                  C#m                A
We don't know from financial things, we live like paupers, dream like kings.
    A                             B
And everybody thinks that we're insane.

Closing:
       E               A                 C#m         B
Better brillianter and broker (than well off and mediocre)
         C              D         E
we'll be better off without it anyway.
       E                A           C#m              B
Better dirt-port and inspired, than rich and fat and tired.
C                          D                                 E
Down and out musicians and explorers, that's how we're gonna stay!
