POOR PEOPLE – 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…
