                      G5                  C5         D5    G5
I get a feel for the fame Hip Eponymous Poor Boy, poor boy


       C5                  G5
And I know that I can't defeat you
                 D5                           G5
Yea, you don't worry now, I ain't going to preach to you

                           G5
But don't get out of your chair
                   D5                             G5
Put a bow in your hair, you might be makin' 'em stare
                          C5             D5    G5
So leave the care to the poor boy, the poor boy
                            G5
And that's the name of the game
                     D5                     G5
Keep on stayin' the same, ain't nobody to blame
                C5             D5    G5
Nobody but the poor boy, the poor boy



       C5                G5
Well okay, so you fell asleep today
                D5                                G5
What's funny to me though is that you did that yesterday
                    C5
You might think I'm mad
                                       G5
For doing all the things that I don't need to do
                             D5                             G5
But while you're laughin' at me, well I'll be laughin' at you


                   G5                            D5                 
So I get into the game, but always keep it the same
                        G5
And I'll be usin' your name, 
                               C5        D5    G5
but they'll be yellin' at me "Poor boy,poor boy"
                       G5                             D5  
But I'll be happy for you, cause you got nothin' to do
                          G5                              C5       D5    G5
And I'll be singin' the blues, walkin' around singin' "Poor boy,poor boy"


     C5                             G5
Sometimes a cold shiver comes over me
                D5                            G5
And it turns me on when the song takes over me
      C5                                       G5 
But alright, I can't fight it the odds are against me
                  D5
But I can't sit still
                       G5
Because I know that I will


                           G5                      D5
And you'll be watching me girl, takin' over the world
                  G5                            C5         D5    G5          
Let the stripes unfurl, gettin' rich singin' "Poor boy, poor boy"
                       G5                   D5 
And I'll be comin' to play, I do it every day
                     G5                  C5         D5    G5
And the title will stay, Hip Eponymous Poor Boy, poor boy (Yeah)
