This might sound a little stupid, but add some lickz,
slides, hammer-on's, pull-off's and stuff. Listen the
ol' fellow play it =) I mean Mark Knopfler. His good.
                                                                              
s = staccato = don't let ring
p = pull off
/ = slide

These are the chords.

You may need those if u play the song with keyboard.                                                                      
Play the guitar chords in the same rhythm as the intro and the "MTV" part
just like in the intro Crap1.

The verse chords:
|G!  |  C | G  | Bb / C | Crap1 |  

Chorus chords 1/1's and stuff (slower than verse):              Crap2
| Eb  | Bb  | Eb  | F  | G!  | G!  | C  |/D  |/E  | E  |     ( G!! \ G! )

Lyrics and playing order:

[Intro x2]

[Verse]
Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
you play guitar on the MTV
That ain't working that's the way you do it
Money for nothing and yo chix for free

[Verse]
Now that ain't working that's the way you do it
lemme tell ya, them guys ain't dum
maybe get a blister on yor little finger
maybe get a blister on your thumb

[Chorus]
We gotto install microwave ovens
custom kitchen deliverieieiees
we got to move these refridgerators
we gotto move these color tv's

*Ouuh!*
[Intro] *ouauuaah* *`uh*

[Chorus]
Gotto install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliverieieiees
We gotto move these refridgerators
We gotto move these color tv's

*look at that, look at that*

[Verse]
I should have learned to play the guitah
I shoudda learned to play them drums
Look at that mama she got it stickin' in the camera man
we could have some

[Verse]
And he's up there what's that? Hawaiian noises?
Bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanz
Oh that ain't working that's the way you do it
Get yor money for nothing get yar chix for free

[Chorus]
We gotto install microwave ovens
custom kitchen deliverieieiees
we got to move these refridgerators
we gotto move these color tv's

[Intro] *howling*

*listen here, now*
[Verse]
*That ain't working that's the way you do it
you play the guitar on the MTV*
That ain't working thaat's the way you do it
Money for nothing and yo chix for free

Money for nothing and         chix for free
Money for nothing and         chix for free
*look at that, look at that*
(I want my, I want my, I want my MTV)
fade out
