Money Aint Everything

Key: DMedium

Cadd9

Way Ddown in Louisiana, where the Cadd9moss and cyprus grew,

You'd Gfind old Jack in a shotgun shack

In the G7back of the black baDyou.

Some folks called him crazy, but ICadd9 knew better than that,

He kept a Ghundred dollar bill tucked away in the brim

Of his G7dirty old cowboy Dhat.

DJack told me a story when Cadd9I was ten years old,

He said there Gonce was a fool tried to swim this swamp

With his G7back weighted down with Dgold.

He said "You should have seen that alligator smile,

He had a Cadd9meal fit for a king, buGt he ended up on my table son,

G7Money ain't everyDthing."

He said there's Gonly one way into this world,

And Done way out, its true.

GYou either eat the alligator orA he's gonna eat you.

There's Gpeople living in a high rise,

That'll Dnever hear a robin G7sing.

What Dgood is first place when you're in a rat race?

CMoney ain't everyDthing. C G D

DLittle Maggie May was dyin', her Cadd9heart was about to go,

When her Gdaddy found a sack on the porch out back

With G7half a million dollars in Dgold.

They still talk about the stranger who Cadd9saved her life that spring,

GNo name on the note, but someone wrote:

G7Money ain't everyDthing.

He said there's Gonly one way into this world,

And Done way out, its true.

GYou either eat the alligator orA he's gonna eat you.

There's Gpeople living in a high rise,

That'll Dnever hear a robin G7sing.

What Dgood is first place when you're in a rat race?

CMoney ain't everyDthing.

No name on the note, but I know who wrote:

CMoney ain't everyDthing. Cadd9 G D

Miami And Me

Key: GCapo 2Medium

Meet her in Mi- Gami, conversation turned Amto wine

We talked and we talked, Cyeah, we hit it off, Djust fine G D

Stayed down by the Gwater, slept beneath Amthe stars

We laughed and we Cdanced, made love in the Dsand, I held her in my arms G

But I couldn't Cmake her Gstay, Cali- Emfornia Dcalled her a- Cway

And to- Gnight the moon turned as blue as the sea and Emshe left Mi- Dami and Gme D

Now she's in San Fran- Gsico, maybe AmMonterey

I started to Ccall, but I put it Doff, hey, what can I Gsay D

I'm up in New GYork City, but my heart's down Amin the Keys

It just ain't Cfair, I should be Dthere holdin' her on that Gbeach

But I couldn't Cmake her Gstay, Cali- Emfornia Dcalled her a- Cway

And to- Gnight the moon turned as blue as the sea, 'cause Emshe left Mi- Dami and Gme

FThey say a woman's Cheart is an ocean of se- Gcrets

FAnd that may be why I'll Cnever know the Amreason D
