Rich Man

Intro: D A G D G D G A 


 
D 
One was in a three-piece suit 
G          D 
One was in overalls 
G               D/F# 
Bellied up on a couple stools 
    Em7            A 
And I was a barfly on the wall 
D                A/C# 
Three-piece came straight from work 
Bm7               D 
Said, "Man, ain't it a shame? 
G                   D/F# 
Stock market took a bath today 
    Em7              A 
And I was just tryna watch the game" 
  G 
I could his patience wearin' thin 
 A 
'Bout the time I overhead 
G            A 
Old overalls bring us all back down to earth 
 

 
       G       D 
Said, "Rich man 
  A               Bm7               G        D 
I know you didn't ask, but I'll say this, man 
        A                                 G 
All the money in the world, it don't mean shit, man 
       D           A 
'Cause it can't go with you when you die 
Bm7              A                  G 
Buy your time or hold your wife and kids' hands 
                          D      A/C# D   G D/F# G A 
And that's what makes you rich, man" 
 

 
D                        A/C# 
He said, "Boys, love 'em while you can 
Bm7           D 
Oh, 'cause it all goes fast 
G             D/F# 
Mine left ten years ago 
    Em7                       A 
And you ain't whole without a better half" 
D                      A/C# 
Man, it hit him like a ton of bricks 
Bm7                    A 
And all of a sudden, I had it all 
G                      D/F# 
Havin' a house full of love at home 
Em7                  A 
Feels like I won the Powerball

He said, "It ain't no secret, havin' money's nice
