When There’s No Money Coming In

Walt Wilkins/Naoise Sheridan

CD: Mustang Island

Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm

He wouldn’t hurt a soul, just ask his friends

F Am Dm Am Dm

They’re all gatered down at Junior’s place to get out of the wind

G Am Dm Am Dm

Talking about how a man can change, when there’s no money comin’ in

Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm

It’s like a curtain fell, when the plant closed down

F Am Dm Am Dm

People turned to gohsts, on the streets of this town

G Am Dm Am Dm

But there’s still mouths to feed, when there’s no money comin’ in

Chorus

Dm

The deal was understood from the cradle to the grave

Am

You weren’t a number to be counted, not a dollar to be saved

Dm

But now a balance sheet in a high-rise

F

A thousand miles away, tells you you’re not needed

G Am Dm Am Dm

Wipes clean the years you gave

Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm

The Sheriff says “I’d like to help, but my hands are tied,

F Am Dm Am Dm

You know it hurts me too, boys, I’ve known him all my life

G Am Dm Am Dm

But a good man can do desperate things, when there’s no money comin’ in”

Instrumental Break (chord progression from verse)

Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm

The wives are with the kids, to see them through the night

F Am Dm Am Dm

And Father Daniel says a prayer for a soul that’s crossed the line

G Am Dm Am Dm

He knows a man’s thoughts turn dark as the sea

Am Dm Am Dm

When there’s no money comin’ in

Chorus

Dm

Your name used to mean something, this town was in your blood

Am

For four generations, hard work was enough

Dm

But now a balance sheet in a high-rise

F

A thousand miles away, tells you that you’re nothin’

G AmDm Am Dm

Wipes clean the years you gave, wipes clean the years you gave

Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm

A tear falls to a cement floor, and echo’s through the cell

F Am Dm Am Dm

And a child grows up alone in a town that knows too well

G Am Dm Am Dm

About how a man can change,When there’s no money comin’ in

G

A man’s thoughts can turn wild as the sea

Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm

When there’s no money comin’ in, when there’s no money comin’ in
