Chords and lyrics for Easy Money by Rickie Lee Jones (key of D).
Verse 1
There [D]was a Joe [D7]Leanin' on the back door
[G]A couple Jills with [G7]their eyes on a couple bills
[E7]Their eyes was statin' They was [A]waitin' To get their hands[D] on some
easy money
[D]They [D7]flipped a dime, One said " well, I'll take heads this time"
[G]One stepped up One stepped[G7] back One loosened her shoulder strap
[E7]She couldn't speak, Her knees got [A7]weak [D]She could almost
taste that easy money
There [D]was this old black[D7] cat Sittin' in a old black Cadillac
[G]The Joe smelled sweet [G7]She curled up at her boyfriend's feet
[E7]She said "I got a plan Listen, [A7]Sam, how'd ya like [D]to make some easy
money ? "
He say, [B7]"yes! oh yes! [Em7] Jus' tell me what you want me to do "
She [E]said, "Baby,[B7] you can trust [E]me [E7]Baby, but you must be
[A7] [Em] hidin' in [A7]my room At a quarter to two"
Well, [D]the cat told the [D7]boy "Come up to the room and play with my toy"
[G]But the Jill set[G7] the bait And she wasn't gonna sit around and wait
[E7]But this guy was wise to all the lies [A7] And he flies [D]out the door With
the easy money
[D]Because there ain't no man Who got [D7]the money in his hand
[G]Who got any of [G7]that bread Bein' slow in the head
[E7]The easier it looks The hotter it [A7]hooks There [D]ain't no such thing
as easy money
We say, [B7]"yes! oh yes!"[Em7]
[E] [B7] [E] [E7]
[A7] [Em] [A7]
Saturday[D] night There[D7] was a terrible, terrible fight
[G]Between two [G7]dames who was losin' the same game
[E7]It wasn't clear, But I hear somebody [A7]was lookin' for [D]some easy money
