Prechorus
Chorus
Bridge:
E5                   D5              A
'Cause baby's always talkin' 'bout a ring
E5                  D5                A
And talk has always been the cheapest thing
      E5             D5        A
Is it true would you do what I want you to
     E5               D5              A
If I show up with the right amount of bling?
       E5          D5       A
Like a puppet on a monetary string
E5                      D5
Maybe we've been caught singing
E                     E5
Red, white, blue, and gree-ee-een
E5
(strum three times fast and let ring)
But that ain't my America,
  A             E5
(let ring lightly)
That ain't my American dream
