(Whistle intro)
C majorC
The other day I checked my bank account
FF
And I could swear it was the wrong amount
C majorC
And I didn't understand cause
        G+G
I been working hard

     C majorC
For the life of me I didn't know where it went
FF
I hadn't even paid the rent
C majorC            G+G      C majorC
Then the Mercedes pulled up in the yard

  FF
Oh lord I should've seen it coming
 F7F7       G+G
This time I'm in deep

C majorC
Now I'm heading to the poor house

Or heading to jail
FF
And if I end up there I ain't making bail
      F7F7                G+G
And if it goes to court I sure don't have a case
   C majorC
Cause I ran out of money some time ago
      FF
But if you look at my wife you'd never know
F7F7                  G+G
I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste...
         C majorC
On a beer budget

 C majorC
(Musical Interlude)

     C majorC
Well my throat dried up and my heart just sunk
     FF
As she motioned me over and popped the trunk
     C majorC                G+G
And I tried to ignore her absent-minded smile
  C majorC
And boy, I was greeted by quite the crew,
    FF
This Loius Vuitton and some Jimmy Choo
C majorC                       G+G         C majorC
And those were just the fellas that were sitting on top of the pile

      FF                         F7F7           G+G
I said, "baby, there's a Wal-mart a block away and I don't think they sell these brands."

C majorC
Now I'm heading to the poor house

Or heading to jail
FF
And if I end up there I ain't making bail
      F7F7                G+G
And if it goes to court I sure don't have a case
   C majorC
Cause I ran out of money some time ago
      FF
But if you look at my wife you'd never know
F7F7                  G+G
I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste...
         C majorC
On a beer budget

FF     G+G       C majorC               FF
All the bills are in my name [All the bills are in his name]
FF       G+G      C majorC
They're gonna haul my ass away [They're gonna haul his ass away]
A minorAm          G+G       FF
And I won't see her pretty face at all
F7F7                  G+G
Cause the prison's nowhere near the mall...


C majorC
Now I'm heading to the poor house

Or heading to jail
FF
And if I end up there I ain't making bail
      F7F7                G+G
And if it goes to court I sure don't have a case

[YEE-HAW]
     C majorC
Cause I ran out of money some time ago
      FF
But if you look at my wife you'd never know
F7F7                  G+G
I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste...
