You Can't Take It With You When You Go
Recorded Gene Watson
Written by Larry Cordle, Larry Shell, Bert Colwell

G
I got a friend who's a workaholic he never knows when to quit
                          D7
Well me I knock off early every chance I get
G                                                     C
He's got an I.R.A. for a rainy day but I wonder if he knows
    D7                              G
You can't take it with you when you go


While I'm out somewhere fishing you can bet he's working hard
                                  D7
My little boat's in the water his big boat sits in the yard
G
And while I'm making time with that gal of mine
                   C     D7                                  G
His love life's on hold  you can't take it with you when you go

    C
You can't take it with you when you go
G                                                             D7
You better take some time to live and love before you get too old
G                                                                   C
All the treasures in this world don't mean a thing when they lay me low
      D7                                  G
Cause you can't take it with you when you go


Now hard work it's a virtue and there's nothing wrong with that
                                     D7
I ain't afraid to pull my weight but I ain't gonna break my back
G                                                             C
I ain't worried about my bank account just let the good times roll
    D7                              G
You can't take it with you when you go

Repeat #3

                                                                     C
All the treasures in this world ain’t worth a dime when they lay you low
      D7                                  G
Cause you can't take it with you when you go
