   F                       A#
I saved a lot of money my fortune was untold
                F               G             C7
And like a fool I idealized my silver and my gold
    F                               A#
My earthly treasure's mounted but when I counted through
                  F            C7             F
I realized the treasure I had overlooked was you

      A#       F            G
My treasure unmeasured but forsaken of the
                          C7
treasures that come from above
      A#       F
My treasure unmeasured but it don't hold
               C7          F
a heart of the one that I love
