Poor People

POOR PEOPLE â€“ ALAN PRICE





            E                   E4

Poor people are poor people 


        E6                    E7

And they don't understand


     A7+                     G# F#m

A man's got to make whatever he wants


      A7+                      B7

And take it with his own hands.



   E               E4

Poor people stay poor people 

        E6                     E7

And they never get to see


    A7+                    G#   F#m

Someone's got to win in the human race

      A7+                   B7

If it isn't you, then it has to be me.



      A7+                  Edim

So smile while you're makin' it

   A7+                  Edim

Laugh while you're takin' it

    A7+                  Edim

Even though you're fakin' it

 A7+         B7       E

Nobody's gonna know.


A7+          B7       E

Nobody's gonna know.


 



           E                     

No use mumbling.


      E4

It's no use grumbling.


E6                   E7

Life just isn't fair

          A7+

There's no easy days


         F#m

There's no easy ways


          A7+               B7

Just get out there and do it!


         A7+           Edim


And sing and they'll sing your song


   A7+               Edim


Laugh while you're getting on


   A7+               Edim


Smile and they'll string along

     A7+     B7       E

And nobody's gonna know.


     A7+  B7       E

Nobody's gonna know.


     A7+  B7       E

Nobody's gonna know.


     A7+       B7       E

And nobody's gonna know.



A7+       Edim     A7+      Edim…
