Man Made Money chords

[Intro]
Dm
 
 
[Verse 1]
Dm
My mama's daddy worked all the time
Dm
Never saw the man spend one thin dime
Dm
A blue jean shirt was all I saw him in
N.C.                                     Dm
Rolled his own smoke from a Folger's tin
Dm
My grandmama lived a different life
Dm
Two white cars on a chert rock drive
Dm
I never saw her wear the same thing twice
    N.C.
But Granddaddy said that was fine
 
 
[Chorus]
      G

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



Every day, I get up and put my feet on the ground
         Dm
'Cause a pretty girl's smile makes the world go round
G
She loves to spend it and so I save
Dm
Every last dollar I еver make
   A
We know it ain’t about thе milk and honey
G   N.C.                          Dm
God made women, so man made money
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dm
There ain’t one bill I ain’t glad to pay
Dm
To see my woman look at me that way
Dm
You know if there never was a girl to chase
N.C.
This whole world would be a different place
 
 
[Chorus]
      G
Every day, I get up and put my feet on the ground
         Dm
'Cause a pretty girl's smile makes the world go round
G
She loves to spend it and so I save
Dm
Every last dollar I еver make
   A
We know it ain’t about thе milk and honey
G   N.C.                          Dm
God made women, so man made money
