INTRO

 D5 A5  G5 D5  

   D5          A5     G5  D5
Of all of the people 
     D5         A5   G5  D5
That I used to know
     D5       A5     G5  D5
Most never adjusted 
       D5         A5    G5  D5
To the great big world
           D5          A5             G5   D5
I see them lurking in book stores
D5               A5             G5   D5
Working for the Public Radio
               D5       A5          G5             D5
Carrying their babies around in a sack on their back
       D5           A5     G5   D5
Moving careful and slow

     D5          A5         G5   D5
It's money that matters
D5           A5     G5   D5
Hear what I say
     D5          A5         G5   D5
It's money that matters
       D5 A5   G5   D5
In the USA

B5                           F#5           G5
All of these people are much brighter than I
   B5                         F#5          G5
In any fair system they would flourish and thrive
                   D5
But they barely survive
               A5            Bb5     B5    A5  G5  D5
They eke out a living, they barely survive

     A5                   C5
When I was a young boy, 
A5                C5
Maybe thirteen
         A5                    C5
I took a hard look around me 
          A5                   C5
And asked what does it mean?

     D5            A5           G5         D5
So I talked to my father, and he didn't know
      D5            A5          G5         D5
And I talked to my friend and he didn't know
      D5            A5           G5         D5
And I talked to my brother and he didn't know
      D5              A5           G5         D5
And I talked to everybody that I knew

     D5          A5         G5   D5
It's money that matters
        D5              A5     G5   D5
Now you know that it's true
     D5          A5         G5   D5
It's money that matters
    D5        A5    G5   D5
Whatever you do

       D5           A5     G5  D5
Then I talked to a man 
                D5      A5     G5  D5
Lived up on the county line
      D5           A5     G5  D5
I was washing his car 
       D5         A5     G5  D5
With a friend of mine
         A5                G5 C5
He was a little fat guy 
     A5             G5 C5
In a red jumpsuit
            A5                     G5 C5
I said "That looks kind of funny"
           A5                 G5 C5
He said "I know it does, too"


D5                       A5            G5           D5
 "But I got a great big house on the hill here
D5                 A5             G5         D5
  And a great big blonde wife inside it
D5                 A5          G5         D5
  And a great big pool in my backyard 
D5                   A5      G5         D5
  Another great big pool beside it

           D5          A5         G5   D5
Sonny it's money that matters, 
D5           A5    G5   D5
Hear what I say
     D5          A5         G5   D5
It's money that matters 
       D5 A5    G5   D5
In the USA
     D5          A5         G5   D5
It's money that matters
        D5              A5    G5   D5
Now you know that it's true
     D5          A5         G5   D5
It's money that matters 
    D5        A5    G5   D5
Whatever you do"
