  			Intro

    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. 

He said "You should have seen that alligator smile, 
         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. 

No name on the note, but I know who wrote: 
C                D      Cadd9  G   D 
Money ain't everything. 

D  Cadd9  G  D   (repeat chords to end)
