Intro.
      C              G 
It's easy to see a poor boy's blues
             Am          G
When he's working every day
       C                 G
It's harder to be there in his shoes
        Am              G
He was born to be that way

If I tell you tomorrow I'm leaving
               D                 G 
Would you understand the reason why?
                  C    G        Am
A poor boy works hard for his living
                    D                G
But a rich man he plays to pass the time

And there's nothing you can do to make me stay
