Milk and Money
Intro: A-D-; (6x) G-;
I dream of all the years decaying
I dream of bitter ending street smiles
Hateful goodbyes, demented lines
(Do 1st stanza chords)
I dream of guns with red round triggers
And bullets that won’t ever miss
And wounds that won’t heal, hands that won’t fell
Chorus:
Is this hollow ground sinking?
Will tears stop their falling?
Can I speak the truth if they cut my tongue?
One night you wake up you’re screaming with trembling hands
A G (hold)
And the frightening part is you don’t understand.
Ad Lib: (Do stanza chords)
And as we go on living each day
We must tell ourselves that we have to carry on
And every night, as we lay down and deliver our prayers
To live to see another day, but down here no one cares
And your troubles will be found, buried 6 feet in the ground.
Ad Lib: (Do stanza chords)
(Do 1st stanza chords)
We dream a land of milk and money
Of coffee mornings bright and sunny
Sex on the phone, you’re not alone
And every night, as we lay down and deliver our prayers
To live to see another day, but when nightmares come around
We’ll be drinking all our wine
Buried 6 feet in the ground
Coda: A-Dm-G-; (2x) A (hold)
