Big Money
By Garth Brooks

Capo 1

   E                           A               E
My older brother Tommy, was a lineman rest his soul
     A                  E              B               E
His job was hanging hot wires, on them high-line power poles
      A                  E                 A             E
Every morning bright and early, he'd climb way up in the sky
      A            E              B               E
And I never understood it, so one day I asked him why

Chorus:
            A        E         A             E
He said it pays big money, and man I'm into that
    A         E               B                  E
It pays big money, if you're willing to take a chance
        A                    E                 A              E
Let me tell you something, sonny, you ought to see my bank account
    A         E            B                  E
It pays big money, but he sure can't spend it now


Well, my late Uncle Charlie, was this demolition hound
He'd travel across the country, blowin buildings to the ground
He carried a case of dynamite seemed, everywhere he went
And he smoked them big long cigars and he'd wink at you and grin

Chorus

Bridge :
             A7            E7                      A7               E7
Well now the moral of this story boys, is don't go getting yourself killed
   A7                E7                         B7               E
Be kind to your rich relatives, they just might put you in their will

Chorus
And that pays big money, yeah and we're I'm into that
And that pays big money, and big money is where it's at
Let me tell you something, sonny, you ought to see my bank account
It pays big money, and we're rolling in it now

It pays big money, having foolish kin
It pays big money, guess I owe it all to them
Let me show you something, sonny, take a look at this bank account
It pays big money, let's go spend some of it now
