Hey, hey!

[Verse 1]
E
Clothes shootin’ don’t kill no birds
D A
I’m standin’ tall with the rest of the girls
E
Hangin’ on, to my mama’s every word
D A
Gonna’ sing ‘em out loud and conquer the world
D
All them faces on the pictures up there
A
Makes me remember when my table was bare
E
Livin’, at my mama’s house
D A7
Takin’ food, from my family’s mouth...before the money came
[Verse 2]
E
I was singing R’n’G# back in ‘62
D A
Before you were born and your mama too
E
I knew David Ruffin when he was hopeless
D A
Sleeping on my floor before he crossed over
D
All my friends on the Grammy shows
A
I was stuck in Detroit trying to open doors
E
Record deals kept falling apart
D A7
One with Atlantic nearly broke my heart...before the money came
[Bridge]
G D A7
I got a lot to say
G D A7
So proud I was built this way
E
Some folks didn’t see my worth
D
Didn’t know where I fit in
E
Fourty years I kept on singing
D A7
Before the money started rolling in

[Verse 3]
E
Oh, there was a time when I would call it luck
D A
If I got me a gig for fifty bucks
E
Now I got all these big decisions to make
D A
Never thought success would be hard to take
D
Shoes on my feet, more in the closet
A
Silk on my skin, more if I want it
E
All these years I kept my style
D A7
I wouldn’t cross over, so it took me a while...before the money came
[Bridge]
G D A7
Yo! I got so much to say
G D A7
So damn proud I was built this way
E
Some folks didn’t see my worth
D
Didn’t know where I fit in
E
Forty years I kept singing
D A7
Before the money started rolling in
[Outro]

Before the money came, before the money came
