Intro 
G  G  Em  C 
 
Verse 1:
         G 
It was a red go-kart, a big backyard. 
G 
It was summer trips on the credit card. 
  Em                          C 
A new pair of shoes the first day of school, 
C 
So I could feel cool. 
 
         G 
It was a hand-me-down Chevy when I turned 16. 
G 
A twenty on the counter for some gasoline. 
       Em                 C 
It was free to me. It was mom and daddy's money. 
 
 
Em                         C                        G 
  Never knew where it came from, just knew where it went. 
        D                    Em 
Hard to come by, but easy to spend. 
             C 
If times got tough, man, I couldn't tell. 
G                 D 
They went through Hell so I could live 
       C 
In the land of milk and honey on 
D                     G   G 
Mom and daddy's money 
 
 
 Verse 2:
G 
Part-time jobs and mowin' yards 
G 
Don't cover car wrecks and broken arms, 
         Em                C 
But they had my back, even when they knew 
C 
I couldn't pay 'em back. 
 
    G 
The older I got, the more I saw 
G 
This whole time, it was time they bought. 
            Em 
They looked out for me 'till I didn't need 
C 
Mom and daddy's money. 
 
 
 
Em                         C                        G 
  Never knew where it came from, just knew where it went. 
        D                    Em 
Hard to come by, but easy to spend. 
             C 
If times got tough, man, I couldn't tell. 
G                 D 
They went through Hell so I could live 
       C 
In the land of milk and honey on 
D                            G    G 
Mom and daddy's money, ey ey ey. 
 
 
Bridge:
D                          C 
  Well, dollars only go so far. 
                       D 
No, they'll never be enough. 
                              C 
The money runs out, but their love, it never does. 
C 
And that's mom and daddy's money. 
 
 
 
Em                         C                        G     D 
  Now I know where it came from, and I know what it meant. 
Em                    C                   G          D 
  I know it's hard to come by and easy to spend, end end 
Em                 C                      G 
  And if times get tough, man, I'll never tell. 
                D 
I'll go through Hell so they can live 
       C 
In the land of milk and honey on 
D 
Mom and daddy's money. 
 
 
Outro 
C                      D                            G 
Ain't it kinda funny ? mom and daddy's money, ey ey ey. 
 
Solo 
| G | Em | C | 
 
G 
Lookin' back it ain't hard to see all the 
                                           Em 
Little things that they did for me, and if I'm lucky 
          D                     C 
One day a little voice will ask me...
