Bm

Verse 1:
Bm                           Em    F#  Bm
The moon is hanging in the purple sky
                          Em      F#   F# F Em  
Baby's sleeping while its mother sighs
F#                 Bm
Talking 'bout the rich folks
                     Em
Rich folks have the same jokes
          F#             Bm
And they park in basic places

Verse 2:
Bm                              Em       F#  Bm
The priest is preaching from a shallow grave
                              Em         F#   F# F Em  
He counts his money, then he paints you saved
F#              Bm
Talking to the young folks
                       Em
Young folks share the same jokes
          F#             Bm
But they meet in older places

Chorus:
     Em     F#          Bm 
  So don't tell me about your success
Em          F#           Bm 
  Nor your recipes for my happiness
Em        F#
  Smoke in bed
        Bm
I never could digest
        Em       F#                Bm
Those illusions you claim to have going

Verse 3:
Bm                            Em    F#  Bm
The sun is shining, as it's always done
                           Em   F#  F# F Em 
Coffin dust is the fate of everyone
F#                Bm
Talking 'bout the rich folks
                    Em
The poor create the rich hoax
          F#                      Bm
And only late breast-fed fools believe it

Chorus:
     Em     F#          Bm 
  So don't tell me about your success
Em          F#           Bm 
  Nor your recipes for my happiness
Em        F#
  Smoke in bed
        Bm
I never could digest
        Em       F#                Bm
Those illusions you claim to have going
