Chords with lyrics
This is my first post of chords, so I'm praying the lines w/ chords and the lines w/ words roughly match up. Someone (sorry didn't catch name, cause I'm new to this game) posted a request for the chords to "It's Money That Matters" by Randy Newman, from the recording "Land of Dreams" (Reprise 25773--a few bad tunes, but a few really great tunes, so buy it!). The poster can e-mail me for clarification. I welcome all corrections, suggestions, praise, and flames at my e-mail address. Here is a condensation of the chords for the tune. It's pretty much a "cycle" tune, so I didn't include all lyrics and verses. Notes: The verse merely cycles through D-A-G-D (with two beats per chord, but note that theD MajorD chord repeats at beginning and end of each cycle). What Newman calls the Chorus (where he sings "It's money that matters") follows the same D-A-G-D pattern. What I have called Bridge I is pretty straightforward, but what I have called Bridge II is actually a little riff section, so the chords are deceptive. I will spell the notes in the "C-no third" riff (pretty wimpy thing to call a riff) so you can get it a little better. For the "C no third" chord, don't even bother playing a chord, just play the riff notes, duplicated in all the octaves you can spare (within reason). Bridge I appears only once in the song. Bridge II comes twice: once after Bridge I (and a short turnaround), and once after the third verse. You're on your own to sound like Mark Knopfler does on the recording.
