Garth Brooks - Big Money

From "Scarecrow" (2001)

Capo: 3rd Fret

My [D]older brother Tommy, was a [G]lineman rest his [D]soul
His [G]job was hanging hot [D]wires, on them [A]high-line power [D]poles
Every [G]morning bright and [D]early, he'd climb [G]way up in the [D]sky
And I [G]never under[D]stood it, so one [A]day I asked him [D]why

CHORUS #1:
He said it [G]pays big [D]money, and [G]man I'm into [D]that
It [G]pays big [D]money, if you're [A]willing to take a [D]chance
Let me [G]tell you something, [D]sonny, you ought to [G]see my bank ac[D]count
It [G]pays big [D]money, but he [A]sure can't spend it [D]now

Well, [D]my late Uncle Charlie, was this[G] demolition [D]hound
He'd [G]travel across the [D]country, blowin [A]buildings to the ground[D]
He [G]carried a case of [D]dynamite seemed, [G] everywhere he [D]went
And he [G]smoked them big long [D]cigars and he'd [A]wink at you and [D]grin

CHORUS #1

INSTRUMENTAL:  [G]   [D]   [G]   [D]
               [G]   [D]   [A]   [D]

BRIDGE:
Well now the [G7]moral of this [D7]story boys
Is don't go [G7]getting yourself [D7]killed
Be [G7]kind to your rich [D7]relatives
They just might [A7]put you in their [D]will

CHORUS #2:
And that [G]pays big [D]money, yeah and [G]we are I'm into [D]that
And that [G]pays big [D]money, and big [A]money is where it's [D]at
Let me [G]tell you something, [D]sonny, you ought to [G]see my bank ac[D]count
It [G]pays big [D]money, and we're [A]rolling in it [D]now

It [G]pays big [D]money, [G] having foolish [D]kin
It [G]pays big [D]money, guess I [A]owe it all to [D]them
Let me [G]show you something,[D] sonny, take a [G]look at this bank ac[D]count
It [G]pays big [D]money, let's go [A]spend some of it [D]now
