[Verse 1]
            Em
Don't wanna call you up
Em
I know exactly what it's gonna be
                          C
And I'm not ready to just work away
C                        Baug Ebaug
My youth today, just want L-O-V-E
          Em
You say, "Shut up,"
 and hold my throat
Em
You throw me 'cross the street
And it's not fair, I gave you
 C
 everything, all of me
C          Baug    Ebaug
But you're breadcrumbing

[Chorus]
Em
Baby, you're Fifth Ave, 
penthouse by the beach
Em
Got so many houses while
 nobody else can eat
C
Still, you're making more, 
more than you can spend
Baug                 B7
In a whole eternity, Monopoly man

[Post-Chorus]
Em
What's your desire?
 Own the earth and stars
Em
But still, you climb higher,
 do your damage, baby
C
What's it gonna take? Wha-what's
 it gonna take for

You to get it straight, you,
 you to get it straight, boy?

[Verse 2]
Em
And it's impossible
Em
For everyone to leave 
the mess you made
We're paying for the
           C
 things we can just grow
                 Baug    Ebaug
On our own, it's embarrassing

[Chorus]

Still, you're making more
 (Nasty),
 more than you can spend

In a whole eternity, Monopoly

What's it gonna take? 
Wha-what's it gonna take for

You to get it straight, 
you, you to get it straight, boy?

[Bridge]
C                 Am     
 Kill 'em with it, fists
            Em

                        Baug
Make him really work for it
                      C  
Put 'em in the dirt, girl,
             Am
 shit on him
Am                        Em
Make him lick the ground, babe
                 B7
Empty the account, spread 
it all around
C                 Am   
 Kill 'em with it, fists 
              Em
and the holster
                        Baug
Make him really work for it
                      C  
Put 'em in the dirt, girl,
             Am
 shit on him
Am                        Em
Make him lick the ground, babe
                 B7
Empty the account, spread

How to play Monopoly Man: key, chords and progression

To play Monopoly Man by Melanie Martinez, think in E minor (one sharp: F♯). It takes 6 chords: Em, C, Baug, Ebaug, B7 and Am.

The progression the song keeps returning to is B7 – Em – C – B7 (V7 – i – VI – V7 in E minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: on guitar, Baug and Ebaug need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
