We Were Rich – Runaway June

Intro:
G  G  G Gmaj7


Verse 1:
G                 Gmaj7
Reynold's route, old rabbit ears
G
TV tray, back in the day
Gmaj7
We'd watch the Wonder Years
G            Gmaj7
Oh Wagneer, wood panel doors
G
We wore out our old jeans
Gmaj7
That were faded from the store
Em
And that old couch
D                                           C
We'd pull the cushions off if we found 50 cents
C                                  G
We'd go crazy, we thought We Were Rich
Gmaj7
Hmm


Verse 2:
G                    Gmaj7
One bathroom sink, we'd all take turns
G                    Gmaj7
Once a week, go out to eat for pizza after church
G                      Gmaj7
And that old church, red carpet floors
G                      Gmaj7
Same old navy paisley tie Daddy always wore

Em
And we'd sing hymns
D                                         C
They'd pass a plate when it was time to give
C                                          G
They'd put in a twenty, I thought We Were Rich


Chorus:
Gmaj7                                       Am
We didn't have it all but we all thought we did
G                                    C
And Mama always said that we were blessed and I believed her
G
I never thought the grass was greener
Am                                  D
On the other side of our old chain link fence
                G
Yeah, We Were Rich
Gmaj7
Hmm


Verse 3:
G                       Gmaj7
I never saw New York, never took a plane
G                       Gmaj7
Once a year we'd drive out to the nearest KOA
G
And we'd light a fire (we'd light a fire)
Gmaj7
Stare at the stars (stare at the stars)
G                                              Gmaj7
And play flashlight tag with the people in the tent there next to ours
              Em   D                                C
Time of our lives, we had a much as all the other kids
C                                    G
Maybe that's why we thought We Were Rich


Chorus:
Gmaj7                                       Am
We didn't have it all but we all thought we did
G                                   C
And I remember Mama saying we're blessed and I believed her
G
I never thought the grass was greener
Am                                  D
On the other side of our old chain link fence
                Am
Yeah, We Were Rich


Bridge:
                        G          C
Got a few more dollars in my pocket
                  G               Am
Since the day I left that cotton town
                          G
And back there they all think I made it
      C
God knows I'd trade it
       D                         G   Gmaj7
For everything we had in that house
                 G   Gmaj7
'Cause We Were Rich
 G
Yeah, We Were Rich


Chorus:
                           Gmaj7             Am
We didn't have it all but we all thought we did
G                                    C
And Mama always said that we were blessed and I believed her
G
I never thought the grass was greener
Am                                  D
On the other side of our old chain link fence
               G
Yeah, We Were Rich


Outro:
              Gmaj7
Yeah, We Were Rich
             G
Uh, We Were Rich
              Gmaj7
Yeah, We Were Rich
G
Hmm
