There's an old (D) sayin' that's (A) been all around
I (E7) heard it before I could (A) walk
How some's got (D) health and (A) some's got wealth
Others (E7) money, marbles and (A) chalk.
Chorus:
I got (D) money, marbles and (A) chalk, sweetheart
But I (E7) still feel like I am (A) poor
'Cause my money won't (D) spend
And my (A) marbles won't roll
And my (E7) chalk won't write any-(A) more.
While you (D) were here I was happy and (A) gay
Your (E7) presence made me feel so (A) proud
But you - left me for another one (D) day
Now I (A7) feel alone in a(D) crowd.
Chorus:
TALK: (same chord progression)
You know folks, money is a funny thing
Just like marbles, it rolls both ways; to you and from you
Strange isn't it? how all your friends will pass you by
When you havent got a dime; When you got money, hah!
There isn't enough chalk in the world to write down
The names of all of your so-called fair-weather friends
Many of us have been up and down many times
And our friends keep rolling back and forth
Just like a handful of marbles on a teeter-totter
And my (A7) chalk won't write any-(D) more.
Money, marbles and chalk is all(A) right
For (E7)misers who love only(A) gold
But give me a (D)chance to save our (A) romance
For I love you with all of my (D) soul.
Chorus: (2x)
