E Robert owes half to Grenville A F#m F# Who, in turn, gave half to Larry, who D G Adored my instrumentals A D And so he gave half to a foreign publisher E He took half the money A F#m F# That was earned in some far distant land D G Gave back half to Larry A D G And I end up with half of goodness knows what G Bm Can somebody explain G7 Why things go on this way? C I thought they were my friends Em I can't believe it's me F C I can't believe that I'm so green Chorus: G Eyes down, round and round D Let's all sit and watch the money-go-round A Everyone take a little bit here and G F# a little bit there G Do they all deserve D Money from a song that they've never heard? A They don't know the tune and they don't know the words G F# But they don't give a damn G There's no end to it D I'm in a pit and I'm stuck in it A The money goes 'round and around and around G F# And it comes out here B E When they've all taken their share I went to see a solicitor and my story was heard and the writs were served On the verge of a nervous breakdown I decided to fight right to the end But if I ever get my money I'll be too old and grey to spend it Oh, but life goes on and on And no one ever wins And time goes quickly by Just like the money-go-round I only hope that I'll survive You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  B  Bm  C  D  E  Em  F  F#  F#m  G  G7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
