D When I was seventeen, found out just what it means F If you can get it free, C it just ain't worth a damn D When I heard the preacher say, don't throw your life away F I got that message, C D and I wrote it on the wall G Well, I don't want anybody tellin' me lies, A no, I don't want your diamond ring C 'Cause you ain't got my size Chorus: D I want money, money, that's what I need, G I got Cadillac dreams, A7 please mister don'tcha take it from me D Give me money, money, more than I need, G C I got Cadillac dreams waitin' on me D Cadillac dreams, Cadillac dreams When I had the young boy blues, I paid some young boy dues I learned the hard way, there's a heartbreak every day Stone cold reality came crashing down on me Well life was hard on me, but I still don't give a damn When I was seventeen I was an angry young man But I won't let just anybody tell me who I am Chorus E Didn't have the time of day, till this dream was born You can't take that away, you can't take that away from me Yeah, now dig this. When I was seventeen, there was this beauty queen Checked in a one room suite, the back seat of my car When you want all the best things money can buy You got to reach down inside of you, to reach up to the sky Chorus Money, money, that's what I need We're driving in my Chevy with my Cadillac dreams Someday, one day, just you and me We'll ride inside these Cadillac dreams You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA A7 C D E F G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
