about

I didn't care about money until I didn't have it. Suddenly... I did. In the South its not a double negative - it's twice as bad.

lyrics

Intro
B7 – A – E (hammer G) x2
Verse
C#m F#m
Working night and day, just to pay my bills
C#m E7
Turning off my heat, giving me the chills
C#m F#m
I don’t care so much, ‘bout what other people think
A B7 E
When I can’t even afford to buy a drink

Chorus
B7
Didn’t care about money
A
Didn’t care about money
E
‘Til I didn’t have none
B7
Didn’t care about money
A
Didn’t care about money
E
‘Til I didn’t have none

Verse
C#m F#m
Work my fingers down, ‘til they start to bleed
C#m E7
Tearing out my heart, all behind the scenes
C#m F#m
Putting in my time, so I can succeed
A B7 E
We all know money don’t grow on trees
Chorus
Bridge
A
Where’d my money go
B7
Got nothing left to show
C#m F#m A
My money’s all gone away…

Outro

B7
Didn’t care about money
A
Didn’t care about money
E
‘Til I didn’t have it

B7
Didn’t care about money
A
Didn’t care about money
E
I didn’t care…
