MANSION IN THE SLUMS

Crowded House

 AmGFAmGD/F#FAmGF
 than a mansion in the slums       
Am G D/F#* F
I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
 AmGF
 than a mansion in the slums
 AmGD/F#
the taste of success only lasts you
 FAm
half an hour or less 
 GF
but it loves you when it comes
 F
and you laugh at yourself
 GAm
while you're bleeding to death 
I'd much rather have a trampoline in my front room
than an isolation tank
I wish I was a million miles away
from the manager's door
there is trouble at the bank
 F
you laugh at yourself
 G
as you go deep into debt
 G
 laugh at yourself
 GAm
while he's breathing down your neck 
 Em
 who can stop me
with money in my pocket
sometimes I get it free
 C
the best of both worlds
 EmAmBbmBmCD
the best of both worlds     
(Instr. break uses chords from the verse)
 F
 I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
 AmGD/F#F
I'd much rather have a mansion ... in the hills
 AmGF
 than a mansion in the slums
 Am
yeah I'd much rather...
 GD/F#FAm
 what I mean is, would you mind if I had it all 
 GF
I'll take it when it comes
 F
and you laugh at yourself
 G
while you're bleeding to death
 F
and somebody else is always
 G
 breathing down your neck
 F
 laugh at yourself
 G
while he's hanging over your head
G F# F C (See tab below for
G F# F exact guitar part)
C B A# (Repeat)
 GF#FC
 best of both worlds    (it'll soon be over)
 GF#FCBA#
 best of both worlds
