INTRO D 
VERSE 
D                                 G 
I ain't rich, but I damn sure wanna be 
D                                            A 
Working like a dog all day, ain't working for me 
           D 
I wish I had a rich uncle that'd kick the bucket 
                 G 
And that I was sitting on a pile like Warren Buffett 
D 
I know everybody says 
        A 
Money can't buy happiness 

 
                      D                        G 
But it could buy me a boat, it could buy me a truck to pull it 
                    D                                   A 
It could buy me a Yeti 110 iced down with some silver bullets 
           D 
Yeah, and I know what they say, 
       G 
Money can't buy everything 
            D 
Well, maybe so, 
  A                   D 
But it could buy me a boat 

VERSE 
              D                             G 
They call me redneck, white trash and blue collar 
             D                                         A 
But I could change all that if I had a couple million dollars 
         D 
I keep hearing that money is the root of all evil 
          G 
And you can't fit a camel through the eye of a needle 
 D 
I'm sure that's probably true, 
          A 
But it still sounds pretty cool 


                      D                        G 
'Cause it could buy me a boat, it could buy me a truck to pull it 
                    D                                   A 
It could buy me a Yeti 110 iced down with some silver bullets 
           D 
Yeah, and I know what they say, 
       G 
Money can't buy everything 
            D 
Well, maybe so, 
  A                   D 
But it could buy me a boat 

BRIDGE 
D                                G 
To float down on the water with a beer 
                                   A 
I hear the Powerball Lotto is a-sitting' on a hundred mill 
              G                    A 
Well, that would buy me a brand new rod and reel 


                      D                        G 
And it could buy me a boat, it could buy me a truck to pull it 
                    D                                   A 
It could buy me a Yeti 110 iced down with some silver bullets 
           D 
Yeah, and I know what they say, 
       G 
Money can't buy everything 
            D 
Well, maybe so, 
  A                   D 
But it could buy me a boat 

           D 
Yeah, and I know what they say, 
       G 
Money can't buy everything 
            D 
Well, maybe so, 
  A                   D G 
But it could buy me a boat 
                   D G D 
It could buy me a boat.
