Claxxons Lament chords by Frog Eyes

Guitar chords with lyrics

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.

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...
