Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Money becomes king

If you ^Gmreach back in your ^Cmemory A ^Gmlittle bell might ^Cring 'Bout a ^Gmtime that once e^Cxisted When ^Gmmoney wasn't ^Cking If you s^Cmtretch your imagi^Fnation I'll ^Cmtell you all a ^Ftale A^Bbbout a time when ^Feverything ^BbWasn't ^Fup for ^Csale

There ^Gmwas this cat named ^CJohnny Who ^Floved to play and ^Bbsing Bb F | Gm C | Gm C | When money wasn't king

We'd ^Gmall get so ^Cexcited When ^GmJohn would give a ^Cshow We'd ^Gmraise the cash be^Ctween us And ^Gmdown the road we'd ^Cgo To ^Cmhear him play that ^Fmusic That ^Cmspoke right to my ^Fsoul ^BbEvery verse a ^Fdiamond ^BbEvery ^Fchorus ^Cgold

The ^Gmsound was my ^Csalvation It was ^Fonly e^Bbverything Bb F | Gm C | Gm C | Before money became king

Well I ^Fain't sure how it ^Chappened And I ^Fdon't know exactly ^Cwhen But ^Feverything got ^Cbigger And the^F rules began to be^Cnd And the ^GTV taught the ^Dmpeople How to ^Gget their hair to ^Dmshine And ^Ghow sweet life can ^Dmbe If you ^Gkeep a tight ^Dmbehind And they ^Amraised the cost of ^Dmliving And ^Amhow could we have ^Dmknown They'd ^Amdouble the price of ^Dmtickets 2/4 4/4 Am | Bb | Bb F | C | To go see Johnny's show

So we ^Gmhocked all our pos^Csessions And we ^Fsold a little ^Bbdope Bb F | Gm C | Gm C | Gm C | Gm C | And went off to rock'n'roll

^GmWe arrived there ^Cearly In ^Gmtime to see r^Cehearsal And ^GmJohn came out and ^Clip-synched His ^Gmnew lite beer com^Cmercial And ^Cmas the crowd ^Farrived As ^Cmfar as I could ^Fsee The ^Bbfaces were all ^Fdifferent There was ^Bbno one ^Fthere like ^Cme

They ^Gmsat in golden ^Ccircles And w^Gmaiters sevred them ^Cwine And ^Gmtalked through all the ^Cmusic And to J^Gmohn paid little ^Cmind And ^Cmway up in the ^Fnosebleeds We ^Cmwatched him on the ^Fscreen They'd h^Bbung between the ^Fbillboards So ^Bbcheaper ^Fseats could ^Csee

Johnny ^Frocked that golden ^Ccircle And ^Fall those VI^CPs And that ^Fmusic that had ^Cfreed us Bec^Fame a tired rou^Ctine And I sa^Gw his face in cl^Dmose-up Trying to ^Ggive it all he ^Dmhad And some^Gtimes his eyes bet^Dmrayed him You could s^Gee that he was ^Dmsad And I ^Amtried to rock on ^Dmwith him But I ^Amslowly became ^Dmbored Could that ^Amman on stage with ^Dmeverything 2/4 4/4 Am | Bb | Bb F | C | Somehow need some more?

There ^Gmwas no use in pre^Ctending No ^Fmagic left to ^Bbhear ^GmAll the music ^Cgave me Was a ^Fcraving for lite ^Bbbeer As I ^Gmwalked out of the a^Crena My ^Fears began to ^Bbring Bb F | Gm C | Gm C | Gm C | Gm C | And money became king
