[Verse]
C
My riches they are few
F C
Just enough to make do
F C Am
To get me from the cradle to Death’s door,
C
Though I struggle and I save
F C
I’m an economic slave
F C G C
And I’m always just as poor as before,
[Chorus]
G
Just as poor as before
Am F
My money is no more
C G
I’m always just as poor as before
C
I have prayed to God
F C
To give me better odds,
F C G C
But I’m always just as poor as before
[Verse]
C
You will never win they say
F C
If you don’t take a chance and play
F C Am
I thought today as I walked out the door
C
So I played the lottery
F C
But fortune did not smile on me
F C G C
So I’m always just as poor as before
[Chorus]
G
Just as poor as before
Am F
My money is no more
C G
I’m always just as poor as before
C
I have prayed to God
F C
To give me better odds,
F C G C
But I’m always just as poor as before

[Verse]
C
A big banker did suggest
F C
That I try to invest
F C Am
And pretty soon I would get my big score
C
But everything went bust
F F
All my money turned to dust
F C G C
So I’m always just as poor as before
[Chorus]
G
Just as poor as before
Am F
My money is no more
C G
I’m always just as poor as before
C
I have prayed to God
F C
To give me better odds,
F C G C
But I’m always just as poor as before
{Verse]
C
My last ditch attempt would be
F C
To stage a major robbery
F C Am
Then get away fast to some foreign shore
C
But it all went wrong somehow
F C
And I’m in the jailhouse now
F C G C
And I’m always just as poor as before
[Chorus]
G
Just as poor as before
Am F
My money is no more
C G
I’m always just as poor as before
C
I have prayed to God
F C
To give me better odds,
F C G C
But I’m always just as poor as before
