Easy Payment Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [D]bought [A]a c[D]ar and a radio,
a [G]mixer and a fishin' pole,
and [D]fancy books to go up on my [A]shelf.
A [D]sweeper and a pair of pants,
and [G]a new device to kill the ants,
and a [D]washer that'll [A]run by it[D]self.
The salesmen smile as they sing,
[G]credit is the finest thing,
[D]a dollar down and a dollar in [A]a week.
But I [D]didn't notice in the past
that the [G]weeks were flyin' by so fast
Till the [D]bills came [A]a -pilin' in the [D]heat
I got the [G]no -money -down,
easy [D]monthly -payment blues
Everything I buy I'm bound to [A]lose
There's a [D]man at the front door,
one a [G]-bangin' on the back
I got those [D]easy [A]monthly -payment [D]blues
I bought some books to make me laugh
Some [G]re cords for my phonograph,
Some [D]jewelry just to keep my sweetie [A]gay.
A [D]fog light and a set of tires,
And a [G]bathtub for that home of ours,
And a [D]table that is [A]always in the [D]way.
A coupon from the magazine
said
[G]I could try out their machine
For [D]thirty days without a bit [A]of pay.
But [D]thirty days is awful
quick for [G]lawyers,
To her mighty slick
they've [D]garnished the [A]wages yesterday
[D]I got me no [G]money down,
easy [D]monthly payment blues
Everything I buy I'm bound [A]to lose
There's a [D]man stuck in the chimney,
one a [G]-banging on the back
I got those [D]easy monthly
[A]payment [D]blues
Bought a rug, I bought a chair,
[G]I bought a thing to grow my hair
And I [D]bought a trap to bump off all [A]the mice
A [D]kitchen stove and a coffee pot
and [G]a fence to go around the lot
And [D]plastic tees that [A]always look so [D]nice
All the news that I read's
got [G]pictures of the things I need
And I [D]hear about them on the radi[A]o
Of [D]vitamins and liver pills
and [G]things to cure up all my ills
So I grab my [D]hat [A]and then away I g[D]o
I got the [G]no money down,
easy [D]monthly payment blues,
everything I buy I'm bound to [A]lose.
With [D]a warrant and a moving van
to [G]come to get my pots and pans
and [D]I can't even [A]pay for my [D]shoes.
