F G F C (x4)
3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2
F G F C
Easy come and easy go
F G F C
That's what they say when they're about to go broke
F G
So try not to choke
F C
Put your arms around me and don't ever let go
F G F C
Went to see the priest, he was singing the blues
F G F C
Glossing in psalms, and spinning the news
F G F C
Tending the garden, gathering leaves
F G F C
Polishing prophets, running out thieves
F G F C
Easy come and easy go
F G F C
That's what they say when they're about to go broke

Put your arms around me and don't ever let go
Instrumental
F G F C
Call it chance, call it choice
F G F C
Words escape, on the breath of your voice
F G F C
Spending the magic, as they arrive
F G F C
It's not fatal, when it's a shallow dive
F G F C
Easy come and easy go
F G F C
That's what they say when they're about to go broke
F G
So try not to choke
F C
Put your arms around me and don't ever let go
Instrumental
Repeat Chorus
If you mess around with the chords, you should be able to figure out the riff/
solo. I'm not terribly good at doing rhythm sections. Sorry!
Sounds better and easier to play with barred F and G if your fingers can handle it.
The F G F C timing pattern plows steadily through chorus and verses with the exception of F ('Put') held
for an extra bar at the end of the chorus. This is tricky to time properly with the strumming pattern.
