[Intro ]
Am riff 2x 
Em riff 1x 
Am riff 1x  

When the wheel turn a(Am)round  
And your number comes up  
You can trade in your (E)pencils  
And your little tin (Am)cup  
You can get up off your (Dm)knees 
You can get up off your (Am)back  
When they hand you the (E)keys  
To the big Cadil(Am)lac  

Intro with "ah ah ah ah ah ah" over it.  
If you know the song you know what I mean. 

(same chords as above) 
When your money turns green  
And your inside's straight  
You'll have kings and queens  
You'll have aces backed with eights  
And when your flush gets filled  
With a one-eyed jack  
It's gonna be a thrill 
In the big Cadillac  

Intro with "ah ah ah ah ah ah" 

Now you can buy that (Dm)gun  
With a trigger you can (Am) pull it  
You know the pearl-handled (Dm)one  
That shoots silver (Am)bullets  
At the shadows in the (E)night  

Intro with "ah ah ah ah ah ah" 

Violin solo over intro chords. 

Now you can buy that (Dm)gun  
With a trigger you can (Am) pull it  
You know the pearl-handled (Dm)one  
That shoots silver (Am)bullets  
At the shadows in the (E)night  

When the wheel turn around,  
And your the head of the class, 
You can drive up town,  
behind your tinted glass,  
Wear your bullet proof vest, 
With the buttons down the back  
You've got to look your best,  
In your big Cadillac.  

Intro with "ah ah ah ah ah ah" 3 x 
(Second time bass and drums drop out,  
then come back for final one, which has no singing.)
