Standard (EADGBE)
Your hunger after money
You're pandering to greed
The things you dont require
You kid yourself you need
Chorus
Neglect the flower of love, give your worship to the weed
Your just adding links to a long and heavy chain
The selfishness that drives
So much of what you do
That fixes your attention
Completely up on you
Chorus
Your record is to take away much more than is your due
Your just adding links to a long and heavy chain
That heavy chain gets longer all the time
What should be easy going
Turns into a mountain climb
That heavy chain gets heavier, day by day
It keeps you anchored to the ground so that
Your heart can't fly a way
The whiskey and the women
You use to blow your mind
Are deadly on their own
And double deadly when combined
They satisfy your senses but they leave your soul behind
Your just adding links to a long and heavy chain
That heavy chain gets longer all the time
What should be easy going
Turns into a mountain climb
That heavy chain gets heavier, day by day
It keeps you anchored to the ground so that
Your heart can't fly a way
Solo
That heavy chain gets longer all the time
What should be easy going
Turns into a mountain climb
That heavy chain gets heavier, day by day
It keeps you anchored to the ground so that
Your heart can't fly a way
Your hunger after money
The whiskey and the women
Its a long and heavy chain
Such a long and heavy chain
