	This is my first post of chords, so I'm praying
the lines w/ chords and the lines w/ words roughly
match up.

	Someone (sorry didn't catch name, cause I'm new
to this game) posted a request for the chords to
"It's Money That Matters" by Randy Newman, from the
recording "Land of Dreams" (Reprise 25773--a few bad tunes, but a few
really great tunes, so buy it!).  The
poster can e-mail me for clarification.

	I welcome all corrections, suggestions, praise, and flames at my
e-mail address.

	Here is a condensation of the chords for the
tune.  It's pretty much a "cycle" tune, so I didn't include all lyrics
and verses.

	Notes:  The verse merely cycles through D-A-G-D
(with two beats per chord, but note that the D
chord repeats at beginning and end of each cycle).  What Newman
calls the Chorus (where he sings "It's money that
matters") follows the same D-A-G-D pattern.

	What I have called Bridge I is pretty
straightforward, but what I have called Bridge II
is actually a little riff section, so the chords
are deceptive.  I will spell the notes in the "C-no third" riff
(pretty wimpy thing to call a riff) so you can get
it a little better.  For the "C no third" chord,
don't even bother playing a chord, just play the
riff notes, duplicated in all the octaves you can
spare (within reason).

	Bridge I appears only once in the song.  Bridge
II comes twice:  once after Bridge I (and a short turnaround), and once
after the third verse.

	You're on your own to sound like Mark Knopfler
does on the recording.

In any fair system they would flourish and thrive

But they barely survive

They eke out a living

And they barely survive
