**** 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:
B (let ring) D D E E
/ / / / /
AND
D D E E D D B (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
