This is [D] how [G] I [E] will learn, how [D] to learn.
[B]
The Complete Banker is [Ab] a song I wrote about the financial crisis and the recession and what caused it.
From the point of view of, you know, putting myself in the position of a banker,
except in a highly caricatured style, just heightening the whole thing to make this person look like a ridiculous gargoyle.
But what I want to talk about is the interesting, you know, the music of it,
whereas the chorus is pretty standard kind [Bb] of, [F] [Gm]
[Eb] [Bb] you know, poppy, slightly honky-tonk,
but in the verses I wanted a [Dm] more sort of menacing feel, so it's
[A] [Dm]
[D] [Dm] [D]
[Dm] [D] [Dm]
Anyone [A] lent [D] me [A] ten [Dm] billion quid.
[A] [Gm] [Dm] Why'd you look [Gm] so glum?
[Dm] Was [Gm] it something I did?
[Dm] [Cm] So I [Gm] caused a [Cm] second Great [Bb] Depression.
[Cm] What [Cm] can I say?
[Gm] [Cm]
[C] I guess [Bb] I got [Eb] a bit carried [C] away.
[F] If I say [G] I'm sorry, [Bb] will you [F] give me the money?
[Bb] Well, that's [F] just me, [Gm] a complete [Eb] banker [Bb] in a black [F] Bentley.
[Gm] Sweet [Eb] Samantha [Bb] riding next [F] to me, [Gm] how I hanker [Eb] for the good old [F] days.
[Bb]
When I [F] was free, [Gm] a [Eb] complete banker [Bb] in my [F] Armani.
[Gm] The [Eb] thought of anger [Bb] and the [F] inquiries, [Bb] [Eb] money [Gb] makes the world go round [F] and round and down [Bb] the drain.
[D] [Dm]
We [A] went [Dm] to war [A]
[Dm] on the [A] floor of the [Dm] [A] exchange.
[Dm] To [Gm] all of [Dm] us, [Gm] it was just [Dm] a [Gm] big game.
[Dm]
[Cm] But God, [Gm] I loved [Cm] it, making [Gm] a profit [Cm] from [Gm] [Cm] somebody's loss.
[Gm]
[Cm] I [Bb] never knew [Eb] exactly whose money [C] it was.
[F] And I did not [Bb] care as [C] long as there [Bb] was lots [F] for me.
[Gm] The [Eb] complete banker [Bb] in a black [F] Bentley.
[Gm] Sweet [Eb]
Samantha [Bb] riding [F] next to me.
[Gm] How [F] I hanker [Eb] for the good old [F] days.
[Bb] When [F] I was [Gm] free, a [Eb] complete banker [Bb] in my [F] Armani.
[Gm] The [Eb] thought of anger [Bb] and the [F] [Fm] inquiries, money [Ebm] makes the [Ab] world go round [Bb] and round [C] and down [Dm] the drain.
[D] [Dm]
[D] [Dm] [A] We'll learn [Dm] the lessons, run [A] tests and [Dm] analyze.
[A] [Gm] [Dm] We'll [Gm] crunch the numbers, [Dm] because [Gm] the numbers [Dm] never [Gm] lie.
[Dm] [Cm] [Gm] Maybe this [Cm] recession [Gm] [Cm] is a blessing [Gm] in disguise.
[Cm] [Gm] [Cm] We can build [Bb] a much, much [Eb] bigger bubble the next [C] time.
[F] And leave the [Bb] rest to [F] key.
Now I'm just a, [Bb] well that's [F] just me.
[Gm] The [Eb] complete banker [Bb] in a black [F] Bentley.
[Gm] [Eb] Margaret Thatcher [Bb] riding next [F] to me.
[Gm] How [F] I hanker [Eb] for the good old [F] days.
[Bb] When I [F] was free, [Gm] I'm a complete [Eb] banker.
[Bb] I'm a [F] conscience-free [Gm] malignant [Eb] cancer [Bb] on [F] society.
[C] One [Eb] day you'll [Gb] let your guard down.
[F] I'll [A] come round [Bb]
[Am] again.
[Gm] [Eb] [Bb]
