Intro:  Am   Am7/G   F   E 

 
VERSE 1:
          Am               Am7/G 
 Come the day break, just another day
        F                E 
 In the life of a beggar man
                    Am              Am7/G 
 Trying hard to get out of it, get about a bit
          F                           E 
 See that great big world, he's read about
           Am     E 
 But never seen


VERSE 2:
          Am                       Am7/G 
 When the time comes, the time for moving on
        F                E 
 In the mind of a beggar man
                     Am                Am7/G 
 All the places he's got to go, why he doesn't know
           F                    E 
 They just come to mind, one by one
                             Am     Am7/G   F 
 Like the bullets from a magazine
           E 
 He walks away, to dream about


CHORUS: 
     C     Em
 The day
               Dm7   G 
 When he could say
                       C      Em 
 Goodbye and close the door
          Dm7   G 
 On yesterday
                 Am     F   E 
 A beggar man no more


Repeat Intro Twice


VERSE 3:
          Am                Am7/G 
 When the night comes ends another day
        F                 E 
 In the life, of a beggar man
                      Am             Am7/G 
 He tried hard to get out of it get about a bit
          F                       E 
 See that great big world he read about
                         Am 
 In the pages of the magazine
                Am7/G            F             E 
 That keeps him warm through the hours when he sleeps

 To dream about


CHORUS


The song ends with the chords and melody of the verse singing "do do do do do" and fading out.
