                         "God Bless The Child"
                        (B. Holiday - A. Herzog)

[horn intro?]

C Bm7  Am7

G13  Gm7/C  [2x]

G13        Gm7/C
Them that's got shall get
G13        Gm7/C
Them that's not shall lose
Dm/G   Dm+7/G
So the Bible says
Dm7/G            G9
And it still is news
Cmaj7
Mama may have it
F9-5
Papa may have it
Bm7            E7                  Am7
God bless the child that's got his own
D7          G13   Gm7/C
That's got his own

And the strong seem to get more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't make the grade
Mama may have it
And papa may have it
God bless the child who's got his own will
That's got his own

Em              Em+7   Em7           C7
And when you got money you got lotsa friends
Bm     Bm7/A        Gmaj7   B
Crowdin' 'round your door
Em              Em+7      Em7               C7
When the money's gone and all your spendin' ain't
Bm7-5          E7       Am7-5   D7sus4  D7
They won't be 'round no more

And rich relations may give you
Crusts of bread and such
"You can help yourself, but don't take too much"
Mama may have it
And papa may have it
God bless the child who's got his own will
That's got his own

coda:

C7    Bm7            Am7      G7
Every child's got to have his own
