Rich Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
Almost by acci[B]dent,

[Verse 1]
[G]
I have become rich
Through continued reward for [B]skilled
[G]labor in the private sector
And a genuine lack of in
[B]terest [G]in expensive things
It appears I have become rich
And since I have become rich
I've been constantly living in
fear of losing [B]everything
[G]That the bubble will burst
and falling from my perch
I will return once again to the
life that I used to live
With [B]the things that [G]I didn't have before
I had become rich (ah)
It appears I have become [B]rich [G](rich)
I put a pinch away each [B]week in

[Verse 2]
[G]
a place my hand wouldn't fit
So I cannot reach it,
it is made of solid steel
A square foot deep with a slit,
no bigger than an inch
One day, when the seams split in such
a way that it cannot be re-stitched
I I will scratch that insatiable itch
and buy the whole hospital
And everything in it (in it)
Because I am rich

[Verse 3]
It appears I have become rich
[G]You twitching like some headless bird
Whilst the witch doctors poached
for the stragglers in the herd
Pitching for business down on skid row
The line goes out the door,
and you're right at the back
Man, two more poor kids
dead in a ditch
I fucking love being rich (you can't
pin that on me)
It appears I have become [B]so
[G]rich (so rich)
It appears I have become [B]so, [G]so rich
I'm literally drowning in it
But no matter how little I've got,
I'll never lose the plot
On top of the hill looking out
over the valley (you)
You can see for miles and [Cm]still get shot
[Baug]The farmer d[G]oesn't want his cows getting
what the other cows have got
He keeps his livestock stock
stuffed in his sock
That's why he's rich

[Verse 4]
It appears we've both become [G]rich
It appears we're both,
both very, very, very rich
It appears we've both got gout
It appears we have no shame
[Bb]It appears I have become[C] rich[Bb]
It appears I have be[C]come rich
[Bb]

[Verse 5]
[G]
Lord forgive me,
have mercy on my soul, never
No one ever tells you how tough it really is,
please teach me
How to be both modest and how
to be rich (rich)
I've done some terrible things
because I'm [C]rich [Bb](rich[G])
Looking for opportunities in ventures
that are bound to bring
The silver rain, sure it's a [B]rush being [G]kush
But then again, life is a bitch
I've become so rich (so rich)
And people hate you for it,
people really hate [F]you for [Bb]it
It appears I have [C]become rich

[Verse 6]
[Bb]
You run a real risk being rich
It appears I have be[C]come
[Bb]rich[C][Bb]
It appears I have be[C]come [Bb]rich[C][Bb]
It appears I have [C]become rich

[Outro 1]
[Bb][F#][Bb][C][Bb]
