Verse 1:
       E              B
Making money, it isn't easy
       E         E7/G#        A
And it sure won't make you happy
                E
So I think it's funny
              B                A    E/G#  F#m7  E
We're so concerned with making money

Verse 2:
          E                     B
And money won't keep folks from grieving
       E         E7/G#        A
And it won't stop love from leaving
             E/B
So here's my two cents
           B             A    E/G#  F#m7  E
What's the use in making money


Chorus:
      A              B     C#m7
And I know that life ain't cheap
        A               B       E
And not all good things are free
             A     B       B#dim      C#m7
But there is no enough and no too much
        F#7/A#             F#m7
And it seems so strange to me
                   E/B
I just think it's funny
             B                  A    E/G#  F#m7  E
We're so concerned with making money


Verse 3:
           E             B
I make my living singing love songs
        E     E7/G#       A
That I made up 'cause I love songs
              E/B
But folks believe 'em
            B           A    E/G#  F#m7  E
So I'm receivin' paper money


Verse 4:
             E                B
Don't get me wrong, I love my lady
       E     E7/G#       B
And I prob'ly wouldn't trade her
              E/B
But life's no better
              B                A    E/G#  F#m7  E
With debts or debtors making money


Chorus:

      A              B     C#m7
And I know that life ain't cheap
        A               B       E
And not all good things are free
             A     B       B#dim      C#m7
But there is no enough and no too much
        F#7/A#             F#m7
And it seems so strange to me
                   E/B
I just think it's funny
             B                  A    E/G#  F#m7  E
We're so concerned with making money

Verse 5:
     E                B
Everybody's got their reasons
      E       E7/G#   A
Finer wines or fairer seasons
         E/B
If we're truthful
              B                A      E/G# F#m7 E
We know we're fools for making money
