Money Marbles And Chalk

A                  D             A
Now there's an old saying that's been all around
A E7                      A
I heard it before I could walk
A              D          A
How some's got health and some's got wealth
E7                       A
Others money, marbles and chalk

[Chorus]
A      D            A
Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart
A     E7                  A
But I still feel like I'm poor
A                     D            A
'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll
A      E7                       A
And my chalk, it don't write anymore

[Verse]
A              D             A
While you were near me I was happy and gay
A    E7                       A
Your presence made me feel so proud
A                D               A
But now that you left me, it's a lonely old world
A     E7                  A
And I feel I'm alone in a crowd

[Chorus]
A      D           A
Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart
A     E7                  A
But I still feel like I'm poor
A                     D            A
'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll
A      E7                       A
And my chalk, it don't write anymore

[Verse]
A                 D           A
Now the money and marbles and chalk are just fine
A     E7                   A
For a miser who loves only gold
A                  D                    A
But just give me a chance to save our romance
A        E7                      A
'Cause I love you with all of my soul

[Chorus]
A      D           A
Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart
A     E7                  A
But I still feel like I'm poor
A                     D            A
'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll
A      E7                       A
And my chalk, it don't write anymore

[Chorus]
A      D           A
Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart
A      E7                 A
But I still feel like I'm poor
A                     D            A
'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll
A      E7                       A
And my chalk, it don't write anymore
