Put the Money Down

Written by Pete Townshend

	  		Intro: E / A / | E / D A | E / A / | E    /  D    A || x2 
                    {2nd time: "I got lost in the . . ."} 
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 
            G    D(F#)  Em     D      C 
Put the money down 
D                  E     A    E    A    E    A    E 
Before I walk on the water 
                     F#m G#m A 
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 
                     F#m G#m A 
Put the money down, down, down 
              G     D(F#) C(E) 
Put the money down. 
D                   E / A / | E / D A |  
               
                    E / A / | E  
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 
{SOLO:}  E / A / | E / A / | E / A / | E / A / | 
          
         E / A / | E / A / | E / A / | E / / / || 
                              {"Take a glass of that . . ."} 
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 
           G    D(F#)  Em   D   C 
Put the money down 
D                 E / A / | E / A / | E / A / | E   
                                           {"Put it down!"} 
BREAK: 
E / A / | E / D A | E / A / | E  
                       {"Before I walk on the . . ."} 
{Before I walk on the} water 
                       F#m G#m A 
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 
                     F#m G#m A 
Put the money down, down, down, down, down 
              G     D(F#) Em    D     C 
Put the money down 
D              E / A / | E / A / | E / A / | E / A / ||  
                                             {"In a tin cup"} 
REPEAT UNTIL FADE
