Verse:
           A5                                        C5
There's an automatic teller machine in the emergency room
                D5                  A5
There's a meter maid she arrives by broom
                                      C5
There's a bear in the air with a lullaby
                D5                       A5
And a big brown coat to keep you warm at night
                                    C5
There's a money tree and the latter leans 
               D5
Up against the trunk but the steps are greased

Verse 2

Chorus

Bridge:
No guitar, just bass playing the intro riff. Feedback into the next pre-chorus.

Pre-Chorus:
Play this riff twice. The second time there is a second guitar
doubling it, except on the second time through, the last note
ends on C, not B.
