This is my first post of chords, so I'm praying
the lines w/ chords and the lines w/ words roughly
match up.
Someone (sorry didn't catch name, cause I'm new
to this game) posted a request for the chords to
"It's Money That Matters" by Randy Newman, from the
recording "Land of Dreams" (Reprise 25773--a few bad tunes, but a few
really great tunes, so buy it!). The
poster can e-mail me for clarification.
I welcome all corrections, suggestions, praise, and flames at my
e-mail address.
Here is a condensation of the chords for the
tune. It's pretty much a "cycle" tune, so I didn't include all lyrics
and verses.
Notes: The verse merely cycles through D-A-G-D
(with two beats per chord, but note that the D
chord repeats at beginning and end of each cycle). What Newman
calls the Chorus (where he sings "It's money that
matters") follows the same D-A-G-D pattern.
What I have called Bridge I is pretty
straightforward, but what I have called Bridge II
is actually a little riff section, so the chords
are deceptive. I will spell the notes in the "C-no third" riff
(pretty wimpy thing to call a riff) so you can get
it a little better. For the "C no third" chord,
don't even bother playing a chord, just play the
riff notes, duplicated in all the octaves you can
spare (within reason).
Bridge I appears only once in the song. Bridge
II comes twice: once after Bridge I (and a short turnaround), and once
after the third verse.
You're on your own to sound like Mark Knopfler
does on the recording.
It's Money That Matters
Randy Newman
D A G D
Of all of the people
D A G D
that I used to know
D A G D
Most never adjusted
D A G D
to the great big world
etc.
BRIDGE I
Bmin A G
All of these people are much brighter than I
Bmin A G
In any fair system they would flourish and thrive
D
But they barely survive
A
They eke out a living
A#dim Bmin
And they barely survive
Bmin A G D/F# (<- turnaround into first occurence of Bridge II)
Bridge II
A (no third) C no third (riff: g c c c d)
When I was a young boy
A (no third) C no third (riff: g c c c d)
Maybe thirteen
A (no third) C no third (riff: g c c c d)
I took a hard look around me
A (no third) C no third (riff: g c c c d)
and asked what does it mean?
D A G D
So I talked to my father
D A G D
and he didn't know.
etc.
(Note: Bridge II repeats after third verse)
[I checked the layout after I pulled this into my news editor,and the
chords and lines seem to match up pretty well. We'll see how well it nets.]
