[A] [Gm] Oh, I'm rich!
I'm [G] rich, and [Dm] plenty money.
[C] [Dm]
[D] But [Gm] some way, somehow, you [Dm] know I feel.
[Am] [Dm] Yes, I did!
[D] [Gm] Now all, all I have [Dm] in my pocket [C] [Dm] is shame.

[Gm] Oh, you said a long time ago, you told me that [Dm] the thrill was gone.
I didn't believe you.
[D] [Gm] You said, Milton, why you better hit that old lonesome, [Dm] lonesome trail.
[D] I had to leave you.
[Gm] Oh, baby, now that I think about it, I realize you didn't [Dm] care if I made [C] it.
I don't [D] believe a [Am] whip.
