Part 1:

FF           G#G#      C majorC
 You see them sitting, in the rain, as the sky is darkening
FF            G#G#        C majorC
 Three lines of traffic, are edging past, the ministry of social affairs
FF        G#G#       C majorC
 At a junction, on the ground, an amputee and a pregnant hound
FF           G#G#          C majorC
 Sit by the young men, with withered arms, as if death had already passed

Part 2:

DmDm          A#/D         A augmentedA
 Through every alley,  way and clenched, a million beggar’s silhouettes
DmDm           A#/D       A augmentedA
 Near where the money,  changers sit, by their locked glass cabinets
DmDm         A#/D        A augmentedA
 What has happened,  let go and ask, the ministry of social affairs
DmDm           A#/D       A augmentedA
 Near where the money,  changers sit, by their locked glass cabinets


Part 3:

That's what they want, oh yeah, money honey
D MajorD           A#A#    G#G#       F#F# FF
That's what they want, oh yeah, money honey

That's what they want, oh yeah, money honey

That's what they want, oh yeah, money honey

That's what they want, oh yeah, money honey
D MajorD           A#A#    G#G#       F#F# FF
That's what they want, oh yeah, money honey
