Poor people are poor people
E6 E7
And they don't understand
Amaj7 F#m7
A man's got to make whatever he wants
Amaj7 B7
And take it with his own hands
E E+
Poor people stay poor people
E6 E7
And they never get to see
Amaj7 F#m7
Someone's got to win in the human race
Amaj7 B7
If it isn't you, then it has to be me
Amaj7 Emaj7
So smile while you're makin' it
Amaj7 Emaj7
Laugh while you're takin' it
Amaj7 Emaj7
Even though you're fakin' it
A B7 E (fill- see below)
Nobody's gonna know
A B7 E
Nobody's gonna know


E
No use mumbling
E+
It's no use grumbling
E6 E7
Life just isn't fair
Amaj7
There's no easy days
F#m7
There's no easy ways
Amaj7 B7
Just get out there and do it
Amaj7 Emaj7
And sing and they'll sing your song
Amaj7 Emaj7
Laugh while you're getting on
Amaj7 Emaj7
Smile and they'll string along
A B7 E
And nobody's gonna know
A B7 E
Nobody's gonna know
A B7 E
Nobody's gonna know
A B7 E
And nobody's gonna know
