Slaid Cleaves - Millionaire
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: D Em
Well, I started out with one lone dollar
Gambled with the man and I won me another
Bought me a gun and I robbed my brother
D Em
I'm bad, but I don't care, boys
D Em
Gonna be a millionaire
Then I hopped on a ship and we sailed on the waves
Dealt in rum and we dealt in slaves
Left my captain in a salty grave
D Em
He's gone, but I don't care
D Em
Gonna be a millionaire
CHORUS:
G D Am Em
How many of you wanna see me dead?
G C Em
How many of you wanna have my head?
G D Am Em
How many of you just live your lives?
D Em
Wishing you were me, boys
D Em
Wishing you were me?
Well, I married rich, a pretty little wife
Brought her misery every day of her life
She slit her wrists with a silver knife
D Em
You can't pin that on me, boys
D Em
Her money belongs to me
Well, I found myself in a good position
To buy myself some cheap politicians
Bought myself a big election
D Em
That's just how it went, boys
D Em
Now I own the president
CHORUS:
G D Am Em
How many of you wanna see me dead?
G C Em
How many of you wanna have my head?
G D Am Em
How many of you just live your lives?
D Em
Wishing you were me, boys
D Em
Wishing you were me?

Em D Em
'Cause I know where I'm bound, boys
D Em
I know where I'm bound
'Cause I started out with one lone dollar
Gambled with the man and I won me another
Bought me a gun and I robbed my brother

I'm bad, but I don't care, boys

Gonna be a millionaire
