Money Cannot Make The Man
Recorded by Waylon Jennings
Written by Jay Glaser

C
So long I've been trying to give you 
                       Dm
The things that you've wanted
    G7
But your thirst for riches 
                            C
Is more than my pockets can stand


And I know that you're dreaming 
                              F
Of things you could have with another
         G7
Cause to your way of thinkin' 
                            C
The money is what makes the man


You like to be seen 
                             Dm
In the richest and finest of places
       G7
You're always embarrassed 
                            C
By the callouses here on my hands


And I know that it's only 
                          F
A matter of time till you leave me
         G7
Cause to your way of thinkin' 
                            C
The money is what makes the man

    F
You may find a rich man 
                                C
To give you the things that you long for
    G7
But if you're still lonely 
                          C
Then darlin' you may understand

          F
That with all of his gold 
                                  C
He can't give you the love that I gave you
      G7
For a man can make money 
                          C
But money cannot make the man
 
Repeat #5,6

  G7
A man can make money 
                          C
But money cannot make the man
