Clay Walker – Money Aint Everything (Guitar)

    D                            Cadd9
Way down in Louisiana, where the moss and cyprus grew,

      G
You'd find old Jack in a shotgun shack

       G7                  D
In the back of the black bayou.

                                  Cadd9
Some folks called him crazy, but I knew better than that,

          G
He kept a hundred dollar bill tucked away in the brim

       G7               D
Of his dirty old cowboy hat.

D                         Cadd9
Jack told me a story when I was ten years old,

              G
He said there once was a fool tried to swim this swamp

         G7                      D
With his back weighted down with gold.

         Cadd9                  G
He had a meal fit for a king, but he ended up on my table son,

G7               D
Money ain't everything."

                G
He said there's only one way into this world,

    D
And one way out, its true.

G                              A
You either eat the alligator or he's gonna eat you.

        G
There's people living in a high rise,

        D                  G7
That'll never hear a robin sing.

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

C                D      C  G  D
Money ain't everything.

D                                Cadd9
Little Maggie May was dyin', her heart was about to go,

         G
When her daddy found a sack on the porch out back

     G7                        D
With half a million dollars in gold.

                                       Cadd9
They still talk about the stranger who saved her life that spring,

G
No name on the note, but someone wrote:

G7               D
Money ain't everything.

                G
He said there's only one way into this world,

    D
And one way out, its true.

G                              A
You either eat the alligator or he's gonna eat you.

        G
There's people living in a high rise,

        D                  G7
That'll never hear a robin sing.

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

C                D
Money ain't everything.

C                D      Cadd9  G   D
Money ain't everything.
