[Verse]
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
