E                D
Big money goes around the world
G                A
Big money underground
E                D
Big money got a mighty voice
G              A
Big money make no sound
B                 A
Big money pull a million strings
D                    E
Big money hold the prize
B                  A
Big money weave a mighty web
D           E
Big money draw the flies

G    D             A       D
Sometimes pushing people around
D    G            D
Sometimes pulling out the rug
A    D            G        D
Sometimes pushing all the buttons
D    A             D
Sometimes pulling out the plug

Chorus:
D                        G
It's the power and the glory
G       C      G   A
It's a war in paradise
D                   G
It's a Cinderella story
G     C     G       E
On a tumble of the dice

Big money goes around the world
Big money take a cruise
Big money leave a mighty wake
Big money leave a bruise
Big money make a million dreams
Big money spin big deals
Big money make a mighty head
Big money spin big wheels

Sometimes building ivory towers
Sometimes knocking castles down
Sometimes building you a stairway
Lock you underground

It's that old time religion
It's the kingdom they would rule
It's the fool on television
Getting paid to play the fool

Chorus

Big money goes around the world
Big money give and take
Big money done a power of good
Big money make mistakes
Big money got a heavy hand
Big money take control
Big money got a mean streak
Big money got no soul
