Paul McCartney - The Pound Is Sinking: chords

Em                   Bm Em
The pound is sinking
Em                Bm Em
The peso's falling
Em
The lira's reeling
     Am
And feeling quite appaling

G                   D/F#
The mark is holding
Em
The franc is fading
Am
The drachme's very weak
    D
But everyone's still trading

G             F                       G
The market's bottom has fallen right out
                F           G    F G F
And only the strong are survivors

         Em
Well, I fear, my dear, that it's evidently clear
          C                            Em
That you can't see the trees for the forest
                        Am
Your father was an extraordinary man
 D                            G
But you don't seem to have inherited
C            Em       C Em
Many of his mannerisms
    C          Em
Oh, any of his mannerisms

The dollar's moving
The rouble's rising
The yen is keeping up
Which hardly seems surprising

The market's bottom has fallen right out
And only the strong are survivors

 Em             B/D#
Hear me, my lover
  Dm7                        G7
I can't be held responsible now
     D                     A7
For something that didn't happen
    D       C     Bm
I knew you for a minute
G              Em     C          Bm
Oh, it didn't happen, only for a minute
      Em               Bm        C
Your heart just wasn't in it anymore

The pound is sinking
The peso's falling
The lira's reeling
And feeling quite appaling
