E7          Am            E            Am              E7
If you want money in your pocket and a top hat on your head,
  Am               C           E7              E
a hot meal on your table and a blanket on your bed.

Well today's grey skies, tomorrow is tears.

    Am             C                      E7           E

you'll have to say goodbye.
Am                  F     Am       F
All our dreams come true, baby up ahead
         Am            Dm        B7  E7

Well the road is out before me and the moon is shining bright.
        Am           C           E7          E
What I want you to remember as I disappear tonight
