           G|                                                       Bb|
I was walking down the street when out the corner of my eye
             C2|                                            Bb|      F|
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me
                     G|                                   Bb |
She said I've never seen a man .. who looks so all alone
                     C2                    Bb|   F|
Uh could you use a little company
           G|                                   Bb|
If you pay the right price .. your evening will be nice
                     C2|                                 Bb|       F|
And you can go and send me on my way
                     G|                                                   Bb |

         G5                                      Bb-C2||-F5
There ain't no rest for the wicked . . .
G5                                       Bb-C2||-F5
Money don't grow on trees
             G5                                             Bb-C2||-F5

                G|                                         Bb|
Not even fifteen minutes later I'm still walking down the street
                        C2|                                           Bb|      F|
When-I-saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight
               G|                                                Bb |
And then he swept up from behind he put a gun up to my head
                   C2                                         Bb|   F|
He made it clear he wasn't looking fer a fight
              G|                                                   Bb|
He said give . me all you've got I want your money not your life
                 C2|                                           Bb|       F|
But ya try to make a move I won't think twice
              G|                                                  Bb |
I told him you can have my cash but first you know I got to ask
                          C2 |                                  G5-B5-G5   G5-B5-G5
What made you want to live this . kind of life . . . . he said

            G|                                             Bb|
Now a couple hours passed and I was sitting at my house
                      C2|                                               Bb|   F|
The day was winding down and coming to an end
        G|                                             Bb |
So I turned on the TV and flipped it over to the news
                    C2                                          Bb|   F|
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend
             G|                                                 Bb|
I saw a preacher man in cuffs he'd taken money from the church
                           C2|                                                Bb|    F|
He'd stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills
                G|                                              Bb |
But even still I can't say much because I know we're all the same
                  C2 |                                      G5-B5-G5   G5-B5-G5
Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills . . . . you know
