Intro.
      C5              G5 
It's easy to see a poor boy's blues
             A5          G5
When he's working every day
       C5                 G5
It's harder to be there in his shoes
        A5              G5
He was born to be that way 


Verse.1

If I tell you tomorrow I'm leaving
               D5                 G5 
Would you understand the reason why?
                  C5    G5        A5
A poor boy works hard for his living
                    D5                G5
But a rich man he plays to pass the time

So goodbye, pleased to know you

We had some laughs along the way

But I have to be leaving

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