Tony Rice - Mr Poverty Chords

[Verse 1]
 
 A                                              E
His children were so hungry, they couldn't even smile
  D                                                     Bm
The kids next door made fun of them, laughing all the while
  A                                                  D                    E
While mother had gone to the store to buy a loaf of bread that had to last a week
 
[Chorus]
 
 D                            A
Mr. Poverty, look what you've done to me
  E                              A
I'd like to know when you'd be leavin'
 
  D                            A
Mr. Poverty, look what you've done to me
   E                             A
Why don't you set me free, and go away
 
[Verse 2]
 
 A                                           E
I've always been unlucky, and never left the ground
   D                                                        Bm
For every job that I applied for, the man just looks and frowns
  A                                                   D                 E
So I'll just have to keep on walkin' round and round and round and round in circles
 
[Chorus]
 
  D                            A
Mr. Poverty, look what you've done to me
  E                              A
I'd like to know when you'd be leavin'
 
  D                            A
Mr. Poverty, look what you've done to me
   E                              A
Why don't you set me free, and go away
