[Intro]
Am Am Am
[Verse]
Am
If the kids are hungry
Dm
But there's nothing to eat,
E
If the baby has a fever
Am
But there is no heat,
Am
If they're living in a Chevy
Dm
As the world walks by,
E
If the poor don't matter,
Am
Then neither do I.
[Chorus]
Am
If the poor don't matter,
Dm
If the poor don't matter,
E
If the poor don't matter,
Am
Then neither do I.
[Verse]
Am
If they're living in a cardboard
Dm
Or a packing case,
E
If they're gone by morning
Am
And they leave no trace,
Am
If nobody wonders
Dm
If they live or they die,
E
If the poor don't matter,
Am
Then neither do I.
[Chorus]
Am
If the poor don't matter,
Dm
If the poor don't matter,
E
If the poor don't matter,
Am
Then neither do I.
[Bridge]
Am
Push them back, sweep them out,
Am
anything to keep them out,
F
Keep them real branded out,
F
standing with their hands out.
Am
Knocking at the back gate,
Am
radio talking hate,
F
Wrong here, strong here,
F
know they don't belong here.
Am
My house, my car, living like a rock star,
F
Caviar, wet bar, bought another Jaguar.
Am
Get it all payday, now its time to play-day,
F
Trouble not to think about,
F
not to make a stink about...
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Am Dm E Am
[Verse]
Am
If the poor don't matter,
Dm
If we chase them away,
E
We're gonna see them again, boys,
Am
On the judgement day.
Am
We're gonna see them again, boys,
Dm
On the day we die.
E
If the poor don't matter,
A
Then neither do I.
[Chorus]
Am
If the poor don't matter,
Dm
If the poor don't matter,
E
If the poor don't matter,
Am
Then neither do I.
[Outro]
Am
If the poor don't matter,
Dm
If the poor don't matter,
E
If the poor don't matter,
Am
Then neither do I.
