Intro: Cm*

Verse:
                           Fm*    G*   Cm*
The moon is hanging in the purple sky
                          Fm*    G*   bass Fm*
Baby's sleeping while its mother sighs
G*                Cm*
Talking 'bout the rich folks
                  Fm*
Rich folks have the same jokes
    G*                 Cm*
And they park in basic places

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

Chorus:
Fm*        G             Cm* 
  So don't tell me about your success
Fm*        G              Cm* 
  Nor your recipes for my happiness
Fm*        G
  Smoke in bed
        Cm*
I never could digest
Fm*                   G             Cm*
  Those illusions you claim to have going

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

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