lyrics

Intro: G G7 C Cm G A7 D7 G
G D
The day I won the lottery
D7 G
Everyone was nice to me
G C
Folks I’d never seen before
D D7
Were gathered round outside my door

G D
All at once the crowd was cleared
D7 G
My winning ticket disappeared
G C
I never got to cash it in
G A7 D7 C
I guess I’ll have to try again

G D
That’s the way the money goes
D7 G
That’s the way the money goes
G G7 C Cm
We all need money I suppose
G A7 D7 C
That’s the way the money goes

G D
Apart from taxes food and rent
D7 G
The miser never spent a cent
G C
He kept his money in a box
D D7
Loaded down with chains and locks

G D
All his life he saved and saved
D7 G
He took his money to the grave
G C
Now the money’s underground
G A7 D7 G
Sprouting up all over town

CHORUS

G G C D G
THAT’S THE WAY IT GOES

G D
A dollar here a dollar there
D7 G
Money turns up everywhere
G C
Throw it all into the air
D D7
Let everybody grab their share

G D
The poor man dreams of nicer things
D7 G
The rich man needs security
G C
Always thinking ‘bout the day
G A7 D7 G
They’ll try to take it all away

CHORUS
