No real intro here, just crack a joke I guess. As far as the G chords he alters between the second
fret on the A string and D string. Listen to the track to get a feel. You can also play the G as a
G7 and it'll work too. It's a 3 chord song, so very easy,
fun to play and sing though. I hope you enjoy.
[Verse 1]
G
He tried to look like he had a little bit of money
C
A drifter with a southern drawl
G
Well I could tell right away by the the way he was runnin'
D
That this boy was just beggin' to crawl
G
At least a junkie knows what he needs
C
You get a man all strung out on green
G D G
He'll give up everything he's got for just one shot of having it all
G
He took every cent of his savings
C
On a trip to the local track
G
He got a tip from a friend bet it all down to win
D
On a horse named heart attack
G
Well now he ain't no fool boys he didn't bet it all
C
So everything was cool when that horse took a fall
G D
But then he turned around and through the rest down
G
Trying to win it back
[Chorus]
C
He wants that easy money
G
It's sad but it's true
D
Everybody wants the most they can possibly get
G
For the least they could possibly do
C
They want that easy money
G
I don't understand
D
If you scheme and you plan you can't get your hands
G
On that easy money
[Verse 2]
G
Now she's been watching him from the table
C
Not to soft but not tough
G
She figured by the money he'd been throwing around
D
That he was damned sure good looking enough
G
So she worked her way over she shot him a wink
C
He took his last five bucks and bought her a drink
G D
By the time they hit the motel six
G
They figured they were in loooove
[Chorus]
C
He wants that easy money
G
It's sad but it's true
D
Everybody wants the most they can possibly get
G
For the least they could possibly do
C
They want that easy money
G
I don't understand
D
If you scheme and you plan you can't get your hands
G
On that easy money
[Verse 3]
G
Now it must have been about two weeks later
C
He get a call from a business friend
G
They got a sure fire steal of this big investment deal
D
And would you believe this, they're gonna let both of us in
G
So they took all of their savings out of the bank
C
And on the way home they stopped to gas up the tank
G D G
She stepped in for some cigs and she never saw that fucker again
[Chorus]
C
He wants that easy money
G
It's sad but it's true
D
Everybody wants the most they can possibly get
G
For the least they could possibly do
C
They want that easy money
G
I don't understand
D
If you scheme and you plan you can't get your hands
G
On that easy money
[Extra]
C G
I know, it's only rock and roll but I like it
C G
Like it, yes I do.
