The Pound Is Sinking by Paul McCartney
The Pound Is Sinking
Fm C F
The pound is sinking,
Fm C F
the peso's failing
Fm Bb
The lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling
Ab
The mark is holding,
F
the franc is fading
Bb Eb
The drachma's very weak but everyone's still trading
Ab F# Ab
The market's bottom has fallen right out
F# Ab F# F
And only the strong are survivors
C Fm
Well, I fear my dear that it's eminently clear
Db Fm
That you can't see the trees for the forest
Cm Bbm Eb
Your father was an extraordinary man but you don't seem
Db Fm Db Fm
To have inherited many of his mannerisms
Db Fm
Oh, any of his mannerisms
Ab
The dollar's moving,
F
the ruble's rising
Bb Eb
The yen is keeping up which hardly seems surprising
Ab F# Ab
The market's bottom has fallen right out
F# Ab
And only the strong are survivors
Fm C Eb Ab
Hear me lover, I can't be held responsible now
Bbm Ab
For something that didn't happen
Eb Ab Fm
I knew you for a minute, oh it didn't happen
Db Cm Fm Cm Db
Only for a minute, your heart just wasn't in it anymore
Fm C F
The pound is sinking,
Fm C F
the peso's failing
Fm Bb Fm
The lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling
