Bb5      Eb5                            Bb5             Eb5 
Can you believe me when I say there's nothing I like better
Bb5           Eb5                Bb5         Eb5 
Than just to sit here and talk with you
Bb5            Eb5                       Bb5            Eb5 
Although I'll rant and I'll rave about one thing and another
Bb5               Eb5                 
The beauty of it is, hope you?ll agree 
             Bb5   Eb5 
Though I'm a poor boy
               Bb5  Eb5 
I can still be happy
                 Bb5   Eb5
As long as I can feel free

Bb5      Eb5                         Bb5          Eb5
So many people I know getting old way too early 
        (Well are you feeling kind of weary?)
Bb5         Eb5                           Bb5       Eb5
Just to impress you with the money they made 
        (You better, you better, you better change your theory)
Bb5          Eb5                               Bb5                          Eb5
One drop of rain they complain, and it's the same about the ways they're earning
Bb5                   Eb5
Well that is not the way I'm gonna be

               Bb5               Eb5
Don't mind the rain, don't mind snow
           C5            F#5 - F5 - Eb5 - C#5
Don't mind nothing, If I know
C5          Eb5
You will be right here with me

Bb5               D5
________________ point of view
Ab5                       G5
How can we all afford to live like you?
Bb5                        D5
The simple life is simply not enough
Ab5                     G5
We have appearances we must keep up

    (Clarinet Solo)

G5 D5 Eb5 D5
D5 D5 Eb5 C5

Bb5   Eb5
Poor boy, if that's the way it's gotta be
Bb5   Eb5
Poor boy, it's you for you and me for me
Bb5   Eb5
Poor boy

Bb5               Eb5                        Bb5                  Eb5
I've tried all I can understanding all the fools and all their money 
Bb5                     Eb5                           Bb5    Eb5
When half of what they got you know they never will use
Bb5            Eb5                        Bb5                     Eb5
Enough to get by suits me fine, I don't care if they think I'm funny
Bb5              Eb5
I'm never gonna change my point of view

               Bb5               Eb5
Don't mind the rain, don't mind snow
           C5            F#5 - F5 - Eb5 - C#5
Don't mind nothing, If I know
C5          Eb5
You will be right here with me
Bb5
All the way, na-na-nah

               Bb5               Eb5
Don't mind the rain, don't mind snow
           C5            F#5 - F5 - Eb5 - C#5
Don't mind nothing, If I know
C5          Eb5
You will be right here with me

- Most of the chords (especially the Eb and Bb) are power chords (except 
the A7 and D7), some of the  less common chords maybe a little out due to 
the song being played on piano and tabbed for guitar, but I did the best 
I could given that I don't yet have a piano. These chords should work on
piano, although some adjustment might be necessary.

- There is a space on the first line that Roger takes the lead on, the 
phrase that precedes 'point of view', because there are several 
conflicting lines on the internet and I don't have the CD lyrics to hand, 
so I left it blank. All other lines are almost definitely accurate, any 
that aren't right are likely mistakes on my part.

Great song, one of my favourites by Supertramp, enjoy.
