I d just like to note that I haven t touched Ken s little solo in the verse that s about
It works of the C position Fmajor scale, and I ve just been improvising off that.
Ken s Guitar part in the intro, however, is just an ostinato revolving around the F in
6th fret of the B string. It s along the lines of...
e-------6-5-8-5-6-5----|
B---6-6----6-------8-6-|
G-/7---7---------------|
D----------------------|
A----------------------|
E----------------------|
The chords are
/// x 4
I
Got a check for nothing
All made out to someone
I truly love myself
Murray says weâre gonna
take the money sometime
Well it might as well be this time
Weâre gonna spend it all on ourselves
Ken
picked this bank at random
I said, do we shoot them?
And he said, either wayâs alright
Whistlinâ Boy,
thatâs Philip, heâs our drummer
He does the theme from âEndless Summerâ
You know heâs waiting out in our ride
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
These appear to be power chords, so G5, Bb5, F5 if you re going for accuracy
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Throw the money in the van
It all worked out just like we planned
--------------------------------------------
Think Old School Country for Ken s part here. Must be played fairly quickly. He seems to
a lower sound than what I do, so it s conceivable he in drop D, but I m not sure on this.

Now the good times have begun
Thatâs not a fire -- itâs just the sun
Itâs like the old man said
Take the money and run
(stop)
Whatâs the rush?
Letâs take The One
/// x4
Love gets passed around so freely
Theyâre so touchy and so feely
Iâm hanging on to mine
I like you California
Although I feel obliged to warn ya
Weâre gonna rob you blind
Whatâs the point in cutting tracks
With all this money in the back?
Now the good times have begun
Thatâs not a fire -- itâs just the sun
Itâs like the old man said
Take the money and run
Whatâs the rush?
Letâs take The One
