Daddy's Money
Look what daddy bought her for her birthday
It's idling right beside me at the light
And sweet sixteen is fussin' in her rearview mirror
Makin' sure her hairdo looks alright
It's my favorite form of stoplight entertainment
Watch what happens when I try to make her smile
You can tell just by the way that she accelerates
She's tryin' to tell me that I'm not her style
Cause she's got Daddy's money, Daddy's money
Daddy's money holds her hand
She ain't got no backbone but she's strong enough to stand
Daddy's money holds her hand
I coast right up beside her at the next light
I can't help that there's amusement on my face
Cause her car must cost twenty times what mine does
Now she's got to run the light to put me in my place
Cause she's got Daddy's money, Daddy's money
Daddy's money holds her hand
She ain't got no backbone but she's strong enough to stand
Daddy's money holds her hand
I didn't really mean to hurt her feelings
There's a tender heart that hides behind the wealth
But maybe if a baby gets too many shiny toys
She never finds the value in herself
She's just got Daddy's money, Daddy's money
Daddy's money holds her hand
She ain't got no backbone but she's strong enough to stand
Daddy's money holds her hand
This song is played in open E.
I capo'd at the first fret so the concert pitch is the key of F.
The first chart is in E.
This is how I played it - albeit with a capo at the first fret.
The second chart is in concert pitch - key of F.
The actual chords are hard to define with just one chart.
There are two guitar parts.
The main part (listen to the intro) is just power chords and
sometimes a shuffle (alternating 5ths and 6ths).
The second part has all kinds of extended and altered chords.
The first chart is more or less how
I play it solo. The main chords (E, A, F# etc) I generally play as
power chords - I didn't put any chord pictures over those.
The more extended and altered chords have the chord pictures over them.
