This is how I play the song. Suggestions and corrections welcome! Off of 'Carey's Cold Spring.' He plays it live with a capo on 3 so I'll write out both versions. http://paperbagrecords.com/artists/frog-eyes/ -----Capo 3 Version----- (All chord shapes relative to capo) Am Em C F F x2 Am Em C F It was early in the morning when the battle horse arrived. Am Em C F And he embraced Sarah, who was the bride of his old age Am Em C F And Sarah hugged Billy, who was born of her sweet, sweet womb C F And no-no-no-nobody shall die, C F And no-no-no-nobody shall die, C F And no-no-no-nobody shall die, C Em Until I've got money in my hand...
Am Em C F It was silence that begot them, the purpose of their ways Am Em C F Lord, the Father, the Beggar, with his two, two hands Am Em C F From that time, the post will pull, and push against the sky Am Em C F But, oh baby, baby I know, I know that the night's too slow, C F And no-no-no-no-nobody shall die, C F And no-no-no-no-nobody shall die, C F And no-no-no-no-nobody shall die, C Em 'Til I've got money in my hand, C Em 'Til I've got money in my hand, C Em 'Til I've got money in my hand, C Em 'Til I've got money in my hand, C Em Oh I was a singer, and I sang in your home, C Em I was a singer, and I sang in your home, C Em I was a singer, and I sang in your home, C Em But it don't mean nothing man, nothing man, until you got some money in your hand, Oh oh...
