Damn The Money

Intro: G  C  G

G
Johnny Gunn he's a guitar player
makin next to nothin' in a bar 
nowhere he says
  C
damn the money
     G
oh, damn the money

Counts his tips, buy a shot of booze
Grabs his lucky strike lights 
another fuse he says
  C
damn the money
     G
oh, damn the money


Bridge:
           D                  C
Well, he dreams of someplace warm 
and sunny
 D                     C
livin' in the land of milk and honey
         D                C       
well brother ain't that funny, 
        G

Rita Brown she's a bank teller
she's got green in her eyes and the 
green on her fingers she says
damn the money
oh, damn the money

Shakes her head counts another grand
while the hundreds fly through her 
poor little hand she says
damn the money
oh damn the money

Bridge:
Well she dreams about someplace warm
 and sunny
livin' in the land of milk and honey
well sister ain't life funny, damn 
the money

Instrumental: C  D  C

G                                 
It sure seems like so much life is
          C
 spent searchin' for the promised 
land
         G                       
but the time that's lost worryin' 
                       C
'bout the cost will never come back 
again
        G                  C G D
It'll break us in the end,      
            G
 damn the money


Now, drivin' along this long highway
 thinkin'
'bout the dream I let slip away
I say damn the money, yeah damn the 
money

Now I know the ways that she used to
 feel
when I was gone too long tryin' to 
close some deal
I say damn the money, oh damn the 
money

Bridge:
Callin home from someplace warm and 
sunny
runnin' from the land of milk and 
honey
the way we look at life is funny, 
damn the money

Damn the money
Damn the money
yeah, damn the money

yeah.
