This is the chord progression of After Gold by Big Wild on Piano, Guitar, Ukulele and Keyboard.

[Verse]
C#m A
Now think about it how cool it would it be
E C#m
To have diamonds on the soles of my feet
A E
But I worn these sneakers since I was 13
C#m A
It’s just cruel, it ain’t sweet
E
Count my blessings easily
C#m A E
It goes 3, 2, 1, me

[Chorus]
C#m
You want some of that green rain?
A E
That chi-kaching, chi-kaching
C#m
You want a 20 karat ball and chain?
A E
Kaching, kaching
C#m
You want a pilot and a jet plane?
A E
They go a chi-kaching, chi-kaching
C#m
Newsflash, it ain’t worth the pain
A E
Kaching, kaching

[Verse]
C#m A
Think about how chic it would be
E
With rhinestones on my sheets
C#m A
Like a queen, pockets leak
E
Mmm, so empty indeed
C#m A
And that’s just cruel, it ain’t sweet
E
I give up so easily
C#m A E
It’s still 3, 2, 1, me

Ain’t got no money, I ain’t got no power

Can’t find the floor and this beats getting louder

Give into me, come on, give me some
Ouch!

Watch those golden gates

Open up for me

I will make it rain
