Randy Newman - Its Money That Matters guitar tab

From: spurgeon@is2.nyu.edu (Keith Spurgeon)

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.
