Intro: D  G - D         

D 
When I woke up this mornin'   
         G             D  
I was tired as I could be 
  A 
I think I was countin' my money 
            G                  D   
When I should a' been countin' sheep 
D              
My agent he just called me 
       G                  D 
And told me what I should be 
    A                                            
If I would make my music for money 
     G                      D 
Instead of makin' music for me

          G                        D            
I said, I know that this may sound funny 
       G                        D  
But money don't mean nothin' to me 
             G            D    
I won't make my music for money 
              A                 D      
No, I'm gonna make my music for me

He said, the people only buy the love songs 
        G                D 
Rock n' roll and not too long 
         A   
He said, son you got to be commercial 
       G                       D 
If you want to turn the people on 

                  
And I said, turnin' on the people 
       G                        D  
Now that's a beautiful place to be 
          A 
But if I spend my time makin' them up a rhyme 
      G                   D  
Well, who's gonna turn on me?

Well now I went up to country 
         G                      D  
And I'll tell you all about the scene 
   A       
I found a place with much charm and much grace 
            G                    D 
That wasn't touched by the music machine 

D 
Whoa, the people were havin' a good time 
       G             D  
Makin' music all day long 
    A 
And nobody cared if they ever got paid 
    G                   D 
One penny for playin' a song
