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
