Champagne Taste On A Beer Budget

G7 C F C G C (Whistle intro) C The other day I checked my bank account F And I could swear it was the wrong amount C And I didn't understand cause G I been working hard --- C For the life of me I didn't know where it went F I hadn't even paid the rent C G C Then the Mercedes pulled up in the yard --- F Oh lord I should've seen it coming F7 G This time I'm in deep --- C Now I'm heading to the poor house Or heading to jail F And if I end up there I ain't making bail F7 G And if it goes to court I sure don't have a case C Cause I ran out of money some time ago F But if you look at my wife you'd never know F7 G I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste... C On a beer budget C (Musical Interlude) C Well my throat dried up and my heart just sunk F As she motioned me over and popped the trunk C G And I tried to ignore her absent-minded smile C And boy, I was greeted by quite the crew, F This Loius Vuitton and some Jimmy Choo C G C And those were just the fellas that were sitting on top of the pile --- F F7 G I said, "baby, there's a Wal-mart a block away and I don't think they sell these brands." --- C Now I'm heading to the poor house Or heading to jail F And if I end up there I ain't making bail F7 G And if it goes to court I sure don't have a case C Cause I ran out of money some time ago F But if you look at my wife you'd never know F7 G I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste... C On a beer budget --- F G C F All the bills are in my name All the bills are in his name F G C They're gonna haul my ass away They're gonna haul his ass away Am G F And I won't see her pretty face at all F7 G Cause the prison's nowhere near the mall... --- C Now I'm heading to the poor house Or heading to jail F And if I end up there I ain't making bail F7 G And if it goes to court I sure don't have a case --- YEE-HAW C Cause I ran out of money some time ago F But if you look at my wife you'd never know F7 G I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste...
