[Intro]
Am F C
Am F C
[Verse 1]
Am F C
On a two lane highway on the way out of town
Am F C
When the sky opens up and the rain starts pourin' down
Am F
When you climb as high as you wanna go
C G
Or you find the tail end of your road
Am F C
Without a doubt, it's all that you think about
[Chorus]
F Am
One drives you to crazy, one's way overrated
G
One can break you, one can make you, one you trust
F Am
One saves you from lonely, one's your one and only
G
Bottom line, no matter what, can't get enough
F Am
God, money and love
G F Am G
God, money and love
[Verse 2]
Am F
When you're looking in the eyes of the best thing that's ever

Am F C
When you're achin' for the start standin' all the way at the end
Am F
When your blessings outweigh your mistakes
C G
When you're down and out or when you got it made
Am F C
Without a doubt it's all that you think about
[Chorus]
F Am
One drives you to crazy, one's way overrated
G
One can break you, one can make you, one you trust
F Am
One saves you from lonely, one's your one and only
G
Bottom line, no matter what, can't get enough
F Am G
God, money and love
[Bridge]
F Am
One's light in a dark place, one comes with a blind faith
G
One'll break you, one’ll make you, one you’ll learn to trust
[Chorus]

One saves you from lonely, one's your one and only

Bottom line, no matter what, can't get enough

How to play "God, Money & Love" by Gabby Barrett on guitar immerses
you in a song that explores the complex relationship between three pivotal
forces in life. The chord progression is straightforward yet expressive,
making it suitable for players at a beginner to intermediate level.
Here's a guide to help you through the song's structure and chord transitions.
Intro and Verses
The song begins with an intro and continues into the verses with a repeating
chord progression of Am, F, and C. This progression sets a reflective tone for
the lyrics that delve into life's journey and the impact of god, money, and love.
Am (A Minor): Place your index finger on the first fret of the B (2nd) string,
your middle finger on the second fret of the D (4th) string, and your ring
finger on the second fret of the G (3rd) string.
F Major: For an easier version, especially for beginners, place your index
finger across the first and second strings at the first fret, your middle finger
on the second fret of the G (3rd) string, and your ring finger on the third fret
of the D (4th) string. This is often referred to as Fmaj7 when you leave the
high E (1st) string open, giving a more melodic sound.
C Major: Shift your fingers to place your ring finger on the third fret of the
A (5th) string, your middle finger on the second fret of the D (4th) string,
and your index finger on the first fret of the B (2nd) string.
The G chord is introduced in the verse as well, providing a transition that
adds depth to the narrative.
G Major: Position your middle finger on the third fret of the low E (6th) string,
your index finger on the second fret of the A (5th) string, and your ring finger
on the third fret of the high E (1st) string.
Chorus
The chorus amplifies the song's message with the same chord progression,
emphasizing the lyrical exploration of god, money, and love. The transitions
between chords should be smooth and maintain the introspective mood
set by the verses.
Bridge
The bridge section uses the same chords as the chorus but with a focus
that shifts slightly to offer a deeper reflection on the themes of the song.
It's a moment to emphasize the message and the melody before returning
to the final chorus.
Outro
The outro revisits the same chord progression used throughout the song,
bringing a sense of closure to the narrative. It’s a gentle reminder of the
song’s introspective themes, allowing the listener to reflect on the
complexities of god, money, and love in their own lives.
As you play "God, Money & Love," focus on the emotional delivery of each
chord and the transitions between them. The simplicity of the chord progression
allows for an emphasis on the storytelling aspect of the song, making each
strum an opportunity to convey the deeper meanings behind the lyrics.
This song is a beautiful exploration of life's essential elements, and playing
it on the guitar offers a personal connection to its message. Remember to let
the chords resonate, giving space for the song's reflective nature to shine through.
