Topic: Cashflow Blues

Hi y'all, last night or the night before I read some lyrics by Last Rebel for a song she scribbled on the other side of the paper and the words 'cashflow blues' popped into my head so I played with the idea for a while!  The verses are open chords while the chorus is played with barre chords, as is the last part.  What do you think?

Cashflow Bluesa song by BoneDaddy 19.30 18/10/07


Verse 1


I was [G]thinking today as I [D]picked up my pay


There’s [G]gotta be more out here than [D]this


I [G]work all my hours more a-[D]sleep than awake


Cause I [A]can’t seem to get enough rest






Chorus


Cause I’m [A]thinking ‘bout the [G]cashflow


[A]Where does all the [G]money go?


The [F]wife and the bar and the [G]shoes and the car


I [F]toss and turn nightly, it [G]don’t get me far






Verse 2


I [G]need to get the knowledge that I [D]should have got in college


But I [G]don’t have the time or the [D]brains


Keeping [G]up with the bills just takes [D]up all my skills


I [A]don’t make any capital gains






Chorus


Cause I’m [A]thinking ‘bout the [G]cashflow


[A]Where does all the [G]money go?


The [F]wife and the bar and the [G]shoes and the car


I [F]toss and turn nightly, it [G]don’t get me far




Verse 3


Got a [G]big engine car but I [D]can’t drive it far


Cause the [G]petrol’s gonna cost me the [D]earth



The in-[G]surance is a killer, the [D]tax is way off kilter


Must have [A]give the queen more than it’s worth






Chorus


Cause I’m [A]thinking ‘bout the [G]cashflow


[A]Where does all the [G]money go?


The [F]wife and the bar and the [G]shoes and the car


I [F]toss and turn nightly, it [G]don’t get me far






Verse 4


If [G]I won the lottery you [D]surely would be shot of me


Be out the [G]country quicker than a [D]flash


[G]Leavin on a jet plane, [D]people’d think that I’m insane


[A]Ridin’ high down on to Nash-ville…






Last Chorus


Where I’m [A]thinking ‘bout the cashflow


[G]Don’t care where the money’d go


Get [A]shoes ‘n’ booze, all that I’d [G]need


[A]Treat the wife, no more strife


[G]Havin me a second life


[A]Play guitar, [G]be a star


[F]Drive myself a [G]fancy car


[A]Sleep sound, won’t [G]touch the ground


Give [A]some away, [G]sleep all day


[F]Dream about my big payday…

Re: Cashflow Blues

This im sure will be understood by all. We all at some stage have these thoughts!
It is also very well written, do you know Bonedaddy,  You only have to look
at who God gives all the money to, to understand what he thought of it?.

Re: Cashflow Blues

I first thought of this song as a slow dirgelike thing but i've just come back to it angry and played with attitude it's quite good fun!

Thanks for your kind comments, and when you get to know me you'll realise I was born with a tongue in my cheek and all my submissions are in good humour so, Zurf - I wasn't fishing when I replied to you I was genuinely pleased to have feedback!

Old Doll I wish sometimes I was one of God's hated so I could benefit in some cheap, shallow manner!

Arkady:  Sorry mate, it took about 30 minutes to come up with the lyrics - mainly cos I'm such a bad typist!!!!!  Fooled you and look again at the first bit of the post HAHA!

Re: Cashflow Blues

Hi bonedaddy - your excellent lyrics and the comments remind of an old saying,

"The wealthy aren't really rich - they just have more money!"

Also, seems to me that rich folk are 'eccentric' but poor folk are 'crazy'.
