  • Gm                      C

    If you reach back in your memory

    Gm                     C

  • a little bell might ring

    Gm           C

    bout a time that existed

  • Gm            C

    when money wasn’t king

    Eb              F

  • If you stretch your imagination

    Eb                   F

    I’ll tell you all a tale

  • Bb                          F

    About a time when everything

    Bb       F         C

  • Wasn’t up for sale

    Gm                              C

    There was this cat named Johnny

  • F                   Bb

    who loved to play and sing

    Bb                F    Gm

  • when money wasn’t king

    Gm                     C

    We’d all get so excited

  • Gm                          C

    when john would give a show

    Gm                        C

  • we’d raise the cash between us

    Gm                     C

    and down the road we’d go

  • Eb                          F

    to hear him play that music

    Eb                       F

  • it spoke right to my soul

    Bb       F           C

    every verse a diamond

  • Bb        F       C

    every chorus gold

    Gm                      C

  • the sound was my salvation

    F                    Bb

    it was only everything

  • Bb          F              Gm/ C

    before money became king

     

  •  

    F                                C

    well I ain’t sure how it happened

  • F                             C

    and I don’t know exactly when

    F                        C

  • but every thing got bigger

    F                         C

    and the rules began to bend

  • G                          Dm

    and the tv taught the people

    G                           Dm

  • how to get their hair to shine

    G                         Dm

    and how sweet life could be

  • G                        Dm

    if you keep a tight behind

    Am                              Dm

  • and they raised the cost of living

    Am                     Dm

    and how could we ignore

  • Am                              Dm

    they doubled the price of tickets

    Am                    Bb

  • to go see johnny’s show

    Bb    F     CGm                             C

  • So we hocked all our possessions

    F                         Bb

    and we sold a little dope

  • Bb             F            Gm

    and went off to rock and roll

    Gm                   C

  • we arrived there early

    Gm                      C

    in time to see rehearsal

  • Gm                        C

    and john came out and lip synced

    Gm                           C

  • his new light beer commercial

    Eb              F

    and as the crowd arrived

  • Eb             F

    as far as I could see

    Bb                  F

  • the faces were all different

     

    Bb          C

  • there was no one there like me

    Gm              C

    They sat in golden circles

  • Gm                  C

    the waiters served them wine

    Gm                       C

  • they talked through all the music

    G                  C

    and to john paid little mind

  • Eb                    F

    and way up in the nose bleeds

    Eb                   F

  • we watched him on the screen

    Bb                           F

    they hung between the billboards

  • Bb          F         C

    so cheaper seats could see

    F                  C

  • johnny rocked that golden circle

    F             C

    and all those VIP’s

  • F               C

    and that music that had freed us

    F                    C

  • became a tired routine

    G                     Dm

    and I saw his face in close up

  • G           Dm

    trying to give it all he had

    G                      Dm

  • and some times his eyes betrayed him

    G            Dm

    you could see that he was sad

  • Am                    Dm

    and I tried to rock on with him

    Am              Dm

  • but I slowly became bored

    Am                    Dm

    could that man on stage with everything

  • Am                    Bb

    some how need some more

    Bb   F      C
  • Gm                    C

    no use in pretending

     

  • F               Bb

    no magic left to hear

    Gm                C

  • all the music gave me

    F                  Bb

    was a craving for light beer

  • Gm                   C

    as I walked out of the arena

    F             Bb

  • my ears began to ring

    Bb       F    Gm/C

    and Money Became King

  • Gm          CGm          CGm          C
  • Gm          CBb       F        C
