Verse:
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Now there's an old saying that's been all around
A augmentedA E7E7 A augmentedA
I heard it before I could walk
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
How some's got health and some's got wealth
E7E7 A augmentedA
Others money, marbles and chalk
Chorus:
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart
A augmentedA E7E7 A augmentedA
But I still feel like I'm poor
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll
A augmentedA E7E7 A augmentedA
And my chalk, it don't write anymore
Verse:
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
While you were near me I was happy and gay
A augmentedA E7E7 A augmentedA
Your presence made me feel so proud

But now that you left me, it's a lonely old world
A augmentedA E7E7 A augmentedA
And I feel I'm alone in a crowd
Chorus:
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart
A augmentedA E7E7 A augmentedA
But I still feel like I'm poor
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll
A augmentedA E7E7 A augmentedA
And my chalk, it don't write anymore
Verse:
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Now the money and marbles and chalk are just fine
A augmentedA E7E7 A augmentedA
For a miser who loves only gold

But just give me a chance to save our romance
A augmentedA E7E7 A augmentedA
'Cause I love you with all of my soul
Chorus:
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart
A augmentedA E7E7 A augmentedA
But I still feel like I'm poor
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll
A augmentedA E7E7 A augmentedA
And my chalk, it don't write anymore

A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart
A augmentedA E7E7 A augmentedA
But I still feel like I'm poor
