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     C

Gm                             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          C

Gm          C

Gm          C

Gm          C
