VERSE I: 
{I got lost in the} back-streets 
                    E            A 
Trying to get here tonight 
E             A        E    A  
The police were asking questions 
E               A      E         A 
They took me to the wrong place twice 
     E              A           E      A 
I even lost my passport 
E              A7       D(A) 
And I forgot my name and town 
    A7                   E     A     E 
But now I'm here by the water

Put the money down 
D                  E     A    E    A    E    A    E

Put the money down, down, down 
              G     D(F#) E 
There are bands killing chickens 
                        F#m  G#m  A 
My heros getting pushed around, 'round, 'round 
                         G       D(F#)   E 
I don't know if I trust you 
                  A7        D(A) 
As you try to shoot me down 
A7                       E   A   E 
Before I walk on the water

BRIDGE: 
'Twas a beautiful day in Columbus when the fences fell 
        C                                         G 
But the five loaves and fishes ain't gonna be much help 
        D                                           A 
I've got a hungry juggler here who wants to keep ahead 
           C                                       G 
Before he walks the water, he wants his bread. 
  D                                      A

VERSE II: 
{Take a glass of that} nice brown ale 
                       E          A 
And a purple pill 
E     A      E    A 
If the ale don't get you too 
E      A         E       A 
Sure as hell the pill will 
E       A             E     A 
Oh mummy mummy 
E         A7    D(A) 
Please may I go down town 
A7              E    A    E 
He's gonna walk on the water

Put the money down
