Tom: A

A      D         A         E
He was born in a murderous fashion
    A          D              A       E
The ass of the business class was his passion
A         D         A            E
Number by hustle he numbered his muscles
A         D              A     E
Honour by honest he fell down upon us
A               D                   A               E
And everybody’s acting like they’ve heard something back
        A   D    A        E
From my baby, my baby and me

[Chorus]
A           D           A         E
Castles and tassels and flatulent assholes
  A       D A    E
I love you, always

[Verse 2]
A               D        A          E
Standing in the sunlight some might say
         A                D             A             E
That her hair was falling down from the building that day
    A       D        A           E
The silvery ball was down by the bridge
        A            D            A               E
And she used to take pills in the woods where she lived
    A           D                   A               E
And everybody’s acting like they’ve heard something back
        A   D    A        E
From my baby, my baby and me

[Chorus]
A           D           A         E
Castles and tassels and flatulent assholes
  A       D A    E
I love you, always

[Bridge]
A             E         D      E
The man you scorned is self revived
A               E             D      E
He hides his reproach with a hollow pride
A                 D            A       E
And everyone’s a ghost as the lesson dies
A       D              A     E
And it’s fun, to be a dirty son

[Verse 3]
A              D             A               E
One day at the bottom of the hill where they play
    A             D            A               E
She lost a golden coin and the troll would not trade her
     A              D               A          E
They say she lost a fortune and she lost it to her
    A               D               A            E
And then he grew despondent cos she would not desert him
   A            D              A          E
He laid out his hand and said ‘make me an offer’
A                  D                  A           E
Then she asked the troll for just how much did it cost her
    A           D          A           E
You got to have money, you got to have money
A                D              A           E
Then he told the troll that you got to have money
       A           D             A           E
You’ve got to have money, you’ve got to have money
A                  D               A           E
Girl you tell your daddy that he’s got to have money
A           D           A         E
Castles and tassels and flatulent assholes
        A           D          A           D
And you got to have money, you got to have money
