Money And Musicians And Explorers by Joe Dipietro
Money And Musicians And Explorers
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse]
G Em
Oh Never give your money to no musician. (Oh no!)
C D
They'll blow it all on guitar strings and bread. (Mmmm, bread)
G C Em D
If you want a sound investment, then your money will be best spent
Eb F D
on a slot machine or roulette wheel instead. (Oh I've got one)
[Verse]
G Em
Don't you give your money to no explorer. (Go Ernest!)
C D
Adventure fills the heart but not the purse. (That's right)
G C Em D
He'll tell you there'll be riches, and the polar ice bewitches,
Eb F G
But you'll lose your shirt and all your cash, or worse. (Good one)
[Bridge]
C D
They'll say anything to change your mind,
G F
They'll tell you how they're in a bind,
G C G
How they're on the verge of something great! (Uh huh!)
C D
Then they'll promise you the moon,
Em C
the rent comes due they'll change their tune
C D
And then you realize it's much too late.
[Verse]
E C#m
Oh Never give your money to no musician. (Or explorer)
A B
Don't give us dollars, sheckles, pesos, pounds or yen.
E A C#m B
'Cause despite our best intentions, you'll need legal interventions,
C D E
if you ever want that money back again.
[Bridge]
A B
Because you know we ain't like other folks,
E D
we push and pull and pry and coax
E B E
The beauty from the boring and mundane.
A B C#m A
We don't know from financial things, we live like paupers, dream like kings.
A B
And everybody thinks that we're insane.
[Closing]
E A C#m B
Better brillianter and broker (than well off and mediocre)
C D E
we'll be better off without it anyway.
E A C#m B
Better dirt-port and inspired, than rich and fat and tired.
C D E
Down and out musicians and explorers, that's how we're gonna stay!
A B E
