🎸 Verse 1:
B
My aunt needs a new roof

My mama wants a house
   E
My papa wants a blue truck
     C#7
It's all he talks about
   B
So I'll keep makin' records
   G#m             C#
To pay these damn dues
          C#m                      F#
'Cause my mama wants a new house
                    B
And my aunt needs a roof

B
My sister needs a new dress

My cousin wants party shoes

So I'll take her out to choose
   B
So I'll keep makin' records
     G#m             C#7
'Til my heart turns blue
          C#m                        F#
'Cause my sister needs a new dress

E
Gettin' rich means goin' broke

The more they take, the more there ain't
   B              F#              G#7
No pennies in the piggy left for me
E
Every dollar that I make
F#                                 B
Finds its way back home to my family


   C#
My uncle can't stop stealin'
    C#7
The sheriff wants a raise
   F#
My grandpa needs a new stone
   D#7
To sit up on his grave
   C#
So I'll keep makin' records
   F#              A 
To pay these damn dues
          C#
'Cause my mama needs a new house
   F7 
My grandma needs a new couch

My uncle needs a bail out or two
          F#                       G#
'Cause my papa wants a blue truck
                    C#
And my aunt needs a roof
