Rae Street chords by Courtney Barnett

[Intro]

Em  D  G
Em  D  G  C
 
 
[Verse 1]

Em        D           G
   In the morning I’m slow
Em          D          G        C
   I drag a chair over to the window
     Em     D            G
And I watch what’s going on
Em             D          G        C
   The garbage truck tiptoes along the road
 
Em         D              G
   Light a candle for the sufferin’
Em         D           G         C
   Send my best wishes with the wind
       Em        D            G
All our candles, hopes and prayers
Em             D   
   Though well-meanin’ 
     G            C
they don’t mean a thing
 
  Em      D         G
Unless we see some change
        Em        D         G
I might change my sheets today
 
 
[Chorus 1]

     C       G         D       
Well time is money and money 
            G
is no man’s friend
        C           G       
And all eyes on the pavement, 
    D
I’m not gonna touch up
D/C                  C      Am
Don’t worry so much about it
 
 
[Verse 2]

Em           D         G
   The day begins to shine
Em            D    
   The parent teaches the 
G          C
child how to ride
      Em            D        G
Their bike, walkers side to side
Em            D    
   Two dogs entangle, 
   G     C
everybody smiles
 
Em           D           G
   The pair across the street
Em              D     
   One's up the ladder and 
G          C
one’s on their knees
    Em         D       G
Painting their faded brick
           Em      
What’s the point, 
         D          C
it looks fine from up here
 
 
[Chorus 2]

     C       G         D   
Well time is money and money 
            G
is no man’s friend
        C           G     
And all eyes on the pavement, 
    D
I’m not gonna touch up
D/C                  C
Don’t worry so much about it
G        C       G       C  
I’m just waiting for the day 
   G       D
to become night
 
 
[Verse 3]

Em               D          G
   Next door the kids run amok
Em            D        
   The mother screams, 
           G         C
“Don’t you ever shut up?”
Em             D          G
   And there’s one thing I know
Em              D       G        C
   The sun will rise today and tomorrow
         Em        D       G
We got a long long way to go
 
 
[Chorus 3]

     C       G         D 
Well time is money and money 
            G
is no man’s friend
        C           G    
And all eyes on the pavement, 
    D
I’m not gonna touch up
D/C                  C
Don’t worry so much about it
G        C       G       C 
I’m just waiting for the day to 
G       D
become night
 
 
[Outro]

         C        G  
And I’ll shine no shoes 
   C         G
in all those worn splits
C        G      D
Get back to normal
           C      G  
Lay it all on the table, 
  C        G
ya seem so stable
   C            G        D
But you’re just hangin’ on
                C    G 
And let go that expectation 
C          G
change the station
   C         G         D
And find out what you want
 
Em  D  G
Em  D  G  C
