[Verse]
G
The rich man asked the preacher
   G
To help him find the truth
       G
He was looking for his soul
         G
That got thrown out with his youth
        Bb*               C*
Spent a whole life chasing money
    C*               G
The man had lost his way
       G
And he couldn't understand
         G                C*       G
What the preacher man was about to say


[Chorus]
          F                  C       G
He said a fool's ambition is all you know
      F                         C        G
There ain't no doubt it's gonna make you whole
      Bb                    F           C
There ain't no tellin' what you've been told
         Bb                     C          G
But your money won't buy you no poor man's gold


[Verse 2]
        G                        C*       G
He said I've been thinking about what you said
G                                  C*
It's been a minute since I made my bed
  G               C*     G
I chased down the living
             G
But I wasn't living at all
       Bb              C                   C          G
And it shook me to the core brother when I heard your call


       F                  C       G
When a fool's ambition is all you know
      F                         C        G
There ain't no doubt it's gonna make you whole
      Bb                    F           C
There ain't no tellin' what you've been told
         Bb                     C          G
But your money won't buy you no poor man's gold
        Bb                      C          G
No your money won't buy you no poor man's gold
