 The Pound is sinking
Bm Em
     The Peso's falling
Bm Em
     The Lira's reeling
    Am
And feeling quite appalling

[Verse]
G                    G/F#
  The Mark is holding
Em
  The Franc is fading
Am
 The Drachma's very weak
    D    D/C         D/B      D/A
But everyone's still trading
G              F                       G
  The market's bottom has fallen right out
             F           |  G      F  |  G  F  |  Em  |  Em7  |
And only the strong are survivors


[Interlude 1]
        Em
Well, I fear my dear that it's eminently clear
         C                          | Em |
That you can't see the trees for the forest
     Em               Am
Your father was an extraordinary man
    D                        G
But you don't seem to have inherited
5/8                       5/8
C                  Em    | C | Em |
Many of his mannerisms
5/8
C                  Em
Oh, any of his mannerisms


[Verse]
G                    G/F#
  The Dollar's moving
Em
  The Ruble's rising
Am
 The Yen is keeping up
      D      D/C      D/B      D/A
Which hardly seems surprising
G              F                       G
  The market's bottom has fallen right out
             F          |  G      F  |  G  F  |
And only the stout are survivors


[Interlude 2]
Em          B7
Hear me, my lover
  Dm6                       G7
I can't be held responsible now
    D                     A
For something that didn't happen
  D        D/C  D/B      D/A
I knew you for a minute

3/4
G            Em
Oh it didn't happen
C         Bm
Only for a minute
     Em                Bm7      C
Your heart just wasn't in it anymore, mmh, mmh, mmh
