 The chords are
///  x 4
I
Got  a check  for nothing
All  made out  to someone
I  truly  love myself
Murray  says we’re gonna
take  the money  sometime
 Well it might  as well be  this time
 We’re gonna spend  it all  on ourselves
Ken
picked  this bank  at random
 I said,  do we  shoot them?
 
 And he  said, either way’s alright
Whistlin’  Boy,
 that’s Philip, he’s  our drummer
 He does the theme  from “Endless Summer”
 You know he’s waiting  out  in our  ride
 These appear to be power chords, so G5, Bb5, F5 if you're going for accuracy
Throw  the money  in the van
It  all worked out  just like we planned
 Think Old School Country for Ken's part here. Must be played fairly quickly. He seems to
 a lower sound than what I do, so it's conceivable he'in drop D, but I'm not sure on this.

Now  the good times have begun
 That’s not a fire -- it’s just the sun
 It’s like the old man said
 Take the money and run
 What’s the rush?
 Let’s take The One
///  x4
 Love gets passed around so freely
 They’re so touchy and so feely
 I’m hanging on to mine
 I like you California
 Although I feel obliged to warn ya
 We’re gonna rob you blind
 What’s the point in cutting tracks
 With all this money in the back?
 Now the good times have begun
 That’s not a fire -- it’s just the sun
 It’s like the old man said
 Take the money and run
 What’s the rush?
 Let’s take The One
