Chords with lyrics

Intro

  D MajorD              Cadd9Cadd9
Way down in Louisiana, where the moss and cyprus grew,
   G+G
You'd find old Jack in a shotgun shack
    G7G7         D MajorD
In the back of the black bayou.
                 Cadd9Cadd9
Some folks called him crazy, but I knew better than that,
     G+G
He kept a hundred dollar bill tucked away in the brim
    G7G7        D MajorD
Of his dirty old cowboy hat.

D MajorD             Cadd9Cadd9
Jack told me a story when I was ten years old,
       G+G
He said there once was a fool tried to swim this swamp
     G7G7           D MajorD
With his back weighted down with gold.

He said "You should have seen that alligator smile,
     Cadd9Cadd9         G+G
He had a meal fit for a king, but he ended up on my table son,
G7G7        D MajorD
Money ain't everything."

        G+G
He said there's only one way into this world,
  D MajorD
And one way out, its true.
G+G               A augmentedA
You either eat the alligator or he's gonna eat you.
    G+G
There's people living in a high rise,
    D MajorD         G7G7
That'll never hear a robin sing.
   D MajorD
What good is first place when you're in a rat race?
C majorC        D MajorD   C majorC G+G D MajorD
Money ain't everything.

D MajorD                Cadd9Cadd9
Little Maggie May was dyin', her heart was about to go,
     G+G
When her daddy found a sack on the porch out back
   G7G7            D MajorD
With half a million dollars in gold.
                    Cadd9Cadd9
They still talk about the stranger who saved her life that spring,
G+G
No name on the note, but someone wrote:
G7G7        D MajorD
Money ain't everything.

        G+G
He said there's only one way into this world,
  D MajorD
And one way out, its true.
G+G               A augmentedA
You either eat the alligator or he's gonna eat you.
    G+G
There's people living in a high rise,
    D MajorD         G7G7
That'll never hear a robin sing.

Money ain't everything.
