In It for the Money Lyrics
by Pat Green
I saw a couple of requests for this one so I thought I would learn a new
song this morning. I haven't listened to Pat Green since I saw him with
Keith Urban 5 or 6 years ago. Good stuff!!!
The D5 as I have it marked is with the hi E muted. You can play this chord
as a Dsus2 with the same fingering except let the hi E ring out. Sounds
good either way...or mix it up between verse and chorus for a bit of change
in mood between the two. I also added the A note on hi E to the D5 chord at
the end of the intro where the chord holds.
Tuned down 1/2 step to Eb.
Dsus2 XX0230 (Alt for D5)
One night in New Orleans I met a painted lady
She swore that she knew just how to save me
Said it wouldn't take long just a new york minute
Believe me boy you wont soon forget about it
I was tempted and I told her no
She grabbed my hand and she wouldn't let go
She said listen here boy we aint that different you and me
Cause it human nature been that way since cain and able
If there's bread in your pocket don't matter how you got it
As long as there's food on the table
And sooner or later you're gonna figure it out honey
If you aint it for the love you're in it for the money
(second half of Intro)
I met an old timer behind tootsey's lounge
In the shadow of the ryman as the sun went down
He said they steal your soul in a radio song
You say you want fame but it won't last long
He said you'll be tempted but you better say no
He grabbed my hand and he wouldn't let go
He said cowboy we ain't that different you and me
Yeah, its human nature been that way since hank and waylon
You put fame in your pocket but as soon as you got it your star is already fading
Yeah and sooner or later this old town sure seems funny
If you aint in it for the love you're in it for the money
Everybody's tempted
Everybody's tempted
Have you been tempted
And it's human nature been that way since cain and able
If there's bread in your pocket don't matter how you got it
As long as there's food on the table
And sooner or later you better ask yourself honey
Do you do what you do for love,
Do you do what you do for love
When you ain't in it for love
Then you're in it for the money
