The Who - Silas Stingy: chords

Dm                               C
Once upon a time, there lived an old miser man
        Dm      F      G  C
By the name of Silas Stingy
   Dm                          C
He carried all his money in a little black box,
          Dm         A#           C      A
Which was heavy as a rock with a big padlock
         A#                 Gm        A          F
All the little kids would shout when Silas was about

Chorus:
Em           F           Gm          A
Money money money bags, money money money bags
Dm                 F       A#              Dm
There goes mingy Stingy, there goes mingy Stingy
Money money money bags, money money money bags
There goes mingy  Stingy, there goes mingy Stin-gy

Silas didn't eat, which was just as well
He would starve himself for a penny
He wore old clothes and he never washed
'Cause soap cost a lot
And the dirt kept him hot
All the little kids would shout
When Silas was about

Chorus

Dm
In the back of his head was a voice that said,
  G  F#   F     E D# D A#
"Someone will steal it all
Dm
He'll be lying in the gutter with an empty  box,
      G      F#   F  E D#  D  C
The thieves will be having a ball"

Chorus
             Dm              A
He bought a safe to put the box in and
   A#               F
a house to put the safe in
       Gm            Dm                  A
And a watchdog on a chain to make quite sure
         A#            F             Gm             Dm
And his face was very funny when he counted up his money
        A#                     A
And he realized he hadn't any more

Chorus

 A#                   D
There goes mingy Stingy
