[Intro: ](A)  (G)  (D)  twice 
 
He's an (A) old man in a new Mercedes 
With a big old bank account 
He flew her out to Vegas 
The first time they went out 
She's a (D) pretty girl from Georgia 
Saw his (G) ad in the (D) person(A)als 
She's (E) lookin' for a ticket out 
Gotta get out while she can 
(G) Lord knows it ain't love (D) 
 
  It's strictly (A) business 
  It (G) ain't nothin' (D) else 
  Strictly (A) buisness 
  Gotta (G) watch out for your(D)self 
  (E) Ain't nothing personal 
  Just cold hard facts of life 
  When she (N.C.) stepped off the plane 
  She was (G) lookin' mighty (N.C.) nice 
  It's strictly (A) business 
 
My (A) best friend was a banker 
Back in my hometown 
I asked him for a loan 
But he had to turn me down 
He said, "I (D) know your good for the money, Brad 
But these (G) numbers (D) just won't (A) crunch 
I (E) hate to see you livin'  
In that run down rickety shack 
But you (G) know I gotta watch my back" (D) 
 
  It's strictly (A) business 
  It (G) ain't nothin' (D) else 
  Strictly (A) buisness 
  Gotta (G) watch out for your(D)self 
  (E) Ain't nothing personal 
  Just cold hard facts of life 
  I'll (N.C.) see you Sunday morning 
  Tell your (G) sister I said (N.C.) hi 
  Strictly (A) business (G) (D) 
  It's strictly (A) business 
 
-SOLO- 
 
They'll (A) drive a hundred miles 
Just to drive five hundred more 
With a fresh coat of paint 
And a number on the door 
If (D) you ask any one of them 
They'll (G) tell you they're the (D) best of fr(A)iends 
It (E) all goes the window 
When race day rolls around 
And that (G) little green flag goes down (D) 
 
  It's strictly (A) business 
  It (G) ain't nothin' (D) else 
  Strictly (A) buisness 
  Gotta (G) look out for your(D)self 
  (E) Ain't nothing personal 
  Just cold hard facts of life 
  Every(N.C.)body wants to be the first  
  To (G) cross that line 
  Strictly (A) business (G)  (D) 
  It's strictly (A) business (G) (D) 
  Strictly (A) business (G)  (D) 
  It's strictly (A) business (G) (D)
