**** NOTE: I BROKE THE SONG DOWN INTO 7 VERSES. I TRIED TO SHOW
THE STRUMMING PATTERN AND THE CHORDS FOR THE FIRST 5
VERSES. THE REST OF THE SONG WILL CONTINUE IN BASICALLY
THE SAME MANNER.
**** THE TWO MAIN STRUMMING PATTERNS ARE:
(let ring)
/ / / / /
AND
(let ring)
/ / / / / / /
VERSE 1:
(Making it), making it, doesn t matter how many
(Taking it), taking it
Well, I can t shake it
Off a my back, damn monkey
It s either too tight, or too slack
VERSE 2:
(Ninety nine), that s all it is, oooh
(Ninety nine)
How much, (ninety nine)
Now, ninety nine
You better hack it, baby (ninety nine)
VERSE 3:
Yeah, my time exploded, space blew up
Need something in my dixie cup
Whoa, let me get it right
There s the best pair of lips I ve kissed all night
verse 4:
How much,(ninety nine), give it to me
I ll pay you later
999, (ninety nine)
Got a pocket calculator, (ninety nine)
Yeah wake up, it don t make no sense
Nickles and dimes
999, (ninety nine)
VERSE 5:
Yeah, the lion and lamb are locked in an embrace
You won t get it till it s in your face
Oooh, I got me out of deeper red
Don t panic, (999)
(Ninety nine), ah, it s where I want to be
Yeah, oh (ninety nine)
A useful member of society, huh (999)
VERSE 6:
(Ninety nine), I need a little love and old money
Gimme (ninety nine), ninety nine (gimme, gimme)
(999) well, I can t shake it off a my back
God damn monkey
Yeah, it s too tight or it s too slack
(999), some things never change
Price of bullets remains the same
here we go
VERSE 7:
Hand over fist, slap on the wrist
Ummm, ninety nine, (ninety nine)
That s all I m asking for, (ninety nine)
How much, (999)
How much do you want to give
Yeah, just a little bit
Nine ninety, (nine ninety nine)
Yeah, they operate
Look at the state of my baby
Will it cost twenty grand? Pitiful
Yeah, that s a nine
Put your money where your mouth is, (ninety nine)
Couph it up, (999)
Oh, nickle and dimes
Yeah, huh, oooh, (ninety nine)
(999), (999) -- TO FADE OUT
