Get A Grip On Yourself

intro: keyboard riff of D A C F G (whole band come in on the G). 
        
guitar stays on the chord of G, while the keyboard riff is played another 
three times. 

G      
Didn't have the money round to buy a Morry Thou 
F                             C           G 
Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow 
G   
Begged and borrowed sometimes I admit I even stole 
        F                               C              G 
But the worst crime that I ever did was playing rock'n'roll 

        D               F           G 
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself 
        D               F           G 
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself 

G  
Suffering convictions on a two way stretch inside 
F                                 C                G 
The air in here in pretty thin, I think I'll go outside 
G  
Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul 
    F                               C                G 
The worst crime that I ever did was play some rock'n'roll 

        D               F           G 
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself 
        D               F           G 
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself 


And you should know! 

(during this bit, the guitar and bass stay on D while 
 the keyboard plays the chords) 

D      A/D    C/D    F/D    G/D 
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... (x3) 
D      A/D    C/D    F/D    G 
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... 


keyboard solo: 
D A C F G (x4) 

D      A      C      F      G  
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... (x2) 


G 
Now I find from week to week the sentence sticking fast 
F                                 C                   G 

Turn the corner, rub my eyes, and hope the world will last 
G        
Stranger from another planet, welcome to our hole 
F                                   C                  G 
Just strap on your guitar and we'll play some rock and roll 

        D               F           G 
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself 
        D               F           G 
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself 

And you should know!
