Poor People

            F                   F4
Poor people are poor people 

        F6                    F7
And they don't understand

     Bb7+                     A Gm
A man's got to make whatever he wants

      Bb7+                      C7
And take it with his own hands.

   F               F4
Poor people stay poor people
        F6                     F7
And they never get to see

    Bb7+                    A   Gm
Someone's got to win in the human race
      Bb7+                   C7
If it isn't you, then it's got to be me.



      Bb7+                  Fdim
So smile while you're makin' it
   Bb7+                  Fdim
Laugh while you're takin' it
    Bb7+                  Fdim
Even though you're fakin' it
 Bb7+         C7       F
Nobody's gonna know.

Bb7+          C7       F
Nobody's gonna know.


           F                  
No use mumbling.

It's no use grumbling.

F6                   F7
Life just isn't fair
          Bb7+
There's no easy days

         Gm
There's no easy ways

          Bb7+               C7
Just get out there and do it!

         Bb7+           Edim

And sing and they'll sing your song

   Bb7+               Edim

Laugh while you're getting on

   Bb7+               Edim

Smile and they'll string along

     Bb7+     C7       F
And nobody's gonna know.

     Bb7+  C7       F
Nobody's gonna know.

And nobody's gonna know.
