Folding Money

[Verse 1]
Em                  G                     A             B
When I was just a boy my granddaddy took me to town one afternoon.
            Em          G                     A                C
He drove an LTD, wore a big white Stetson and two-toned cowboy boots.
          Em                       G                          A                  B
He said, 'Son, here you go,' as he handed me a twenty just to see the look on my face.
          Em (stop)                                     B
He said, 'Don't tell your momma nothing about it, don't spend it all in one place.'

See it takes

[Chorus 1]
Em                G                  A                B
Folding money, to get the deal done, folding money to have a little fun
Em                G                A                     C
Folding money, to pay a few bills, eat a steak dinner or cure a couple ills
Em                 G                         A                      B
Folding money, you need a little stash, some greenback dollars, and cold hard cash
C                                                          B
You can save it for a rainy day or throw away a little bit son
                 Em   G          Em    G    A    C
It takes folding money to get the deal done.

Em                   G                        A                  B
Ever since the day I learned to earn a dollar I've his advice to heart
            Em                       G                  A                   C
'Cause if a man finds the courage to keep his cash some romance is bound to start
    Em                   G                        A           B
Now romance is just like money you can always get more if you got it
Em (stop)                                                  B
And let me tell you friend, I'm a lot more handsome with a C note in my pocket

See it takes

Em                 G                         A                      B

[Verse 3] (hi-hat and vocals only)

It's a pain in the back, it's a cold hard fact, it gets to everybody sooner or later

You can give it to a charity, ending some disparity or stock up your refrigerator
        Em                       G                              A                       B
You can marry it or bet it it'll kill you if you let it you can blow it with nothing to show
Em (stop)                                                  B
It'll make your wallet fatter but the truth of the matters can't take it with you when you go

Better spend a little

[Chorus 3]
Em                G                  A                B
folding money to get the deal done, folding money to have a little fun
Em             G                A                      C
Folding money, pay a few bills spread a little round, it'll cure a couple ills
Em                 G                         A                     B
Folding money, you need a little stash, some greenback dollars and cold hard cash
C                                                          B
You can save it for a rainy day or throw away a little bit son
                 Em     G     A     B
It takes folding money.
