[Verse 1]
Em
Walkin' like a millionaire
A                     G
Smilin' like a king
       Em                                                      A    G
He leaned his shopping cart against the wall
                  Em
He said, "I been a lot of places
          A                     G
And I seen a lot of things
         Em                                                        A    G
But, sonny, I seen one thing that beats 'em all

[Pre-Chorus]
         Em
I was flyin' back from Lubbock
          A                           D
I saw Jesus on the plane
     Em
or maybe it was Elvis
                           A                              Bm
You know, they kinda look the same
Em                                           A
Hey, look out, Junior, you're steppin' on my bed"
   D      Em
I said, "I don't see nothin"
             A
He just glared at me and said

[Chorus]
    Em               A
If dirt were dollars
    Em               A
If dirt were dollars
    Em               A
If dirt were dollars
                  G           Em       A    G
I wouldn't worry anymore

[Verse 2]
Em
Lookin' like a beauty queen
A                G
Loyal as a wife
         Em                                      A          G
She raised her little voice and testified
Em
  "I am a good girl
       A                    G
I've been one all my life"
             Em                                          A       G
But her virtue was as swollen as her pride

[Pre-Chorus]
          Em
She should've had the Oscar
         A                                       D
She must have been miscast
Em                            A                  D
  Her fifteen minutes went by so fast
Em                         A                          D
  I said, "Now, baby, have you got no shame?"
                Em
She just looked at me, uncomprehendingly
         A                                     D
Like cows at a passing train

[Chorus]
    Em               A
If dirt were dollars
    Em               A
If dirt were dollars
    Em               A
If dirt were dollars
                             Em           A
I wouldn't worry anymore

[Bridge]
G
We got the bully pulpit

And the poisoned pen
A
We got a press no better

Than the public men
C
This brave new world
D                 Em
Gone bad again
