Just heard this song for the first time on Limewire. It's off Aimee's forthcoming
album Smilers. Sounds like a really cool song and the chords were easy to tab so
I thought I'd post it up.
FREEWAY - Aimee Mann
Tune down half a step (d#,g#,c#,f#,a#,d#)
Chords used:
A (x02220)

INTRO:
A-E (x4)
VERSE 1:
You've [A]got a lot of [E]money but you [B]can't afford the [F#m]freeway[A][E][A][E]
The [A]road to orange [E]County leaves an [B]awful lot of l[F#m]eeway[A][E][A][E]
Where [A]everyone's a [E]doctor or a s[B]pecialist in [F#m]retail[A][E][A][E]
They'll [A]sell you all the [E]speed you want if [B]you can take the [F#m]black mail[A][E][A][E]

CHORUS: (x2)
You've [A]got a lot of [E]money but you [B]can't afford the [F#m]freeway[A][E][A][E]
VERSE 2:
You've [A]got a lot of [E]money but you [B]cannot keep your [F#m]bills paid[A][E][A][E]
The [A]sacrifice is [E]worth it just to [B]hang around the [F#m]arcade[A][E][A][E]
You [C#m]found yourself a [B]profit but you [F#m]left him on the boardwalk[A][E][A][E]
A[C#m]nother chocolate [B]easter bunny [F#m]hollowed out by your old [A]talk[E][A][E]
PRE CHORUS:
[C#m]You knew it,[E] I know it,[B] why don't you[F#m] just show it?
CHORUS: (x2)
You've [A]got a lot of [E]money but you [B]can't afford the [F#m]freeway[A][E][A][E]
BRIDGE:
[C#m]And everything I [D]do is wrong[A], but at least I'm hanging [F#m]on
OUTRO:
You've [A]got a lot of [E]money but you [B]can't afford[F#m]
You've [A]got a lot of [E]money but you [B]can't afford[F#m]
You've [A]got a lot of [E]money but you [B]can't afford the [F#m]freeway[A][E][A][E]
You've [A]got a lot of [E]money but you [B]can't afford the [F#m]freeway[A][E][A][E]
You've [C#m]got a lot of [B]money but yo[F#m]u can't af[A]fo[E]rd[A][E]
You've [C#m]got a lot of [B]money but yo[F#m]u can't af[A]fo[E]rd[A][E]
Repeat A-E 'til end.
That's it. If you can't be bothered tuning down half a step, or you want to use a
capo, then just play it in the corresponding key. But I'm sure these are the
right chord progressions.
