INTRO

Cm7 Cm7 Fm7sus2 Fm7sus2 x2


VERSE 1
Cm7 Cm7 Bm7 Bm7
Never sing for my supper
Cm7 Cm7 Bm7 Bm7
I never helped my neighbour
Cm7 Cm7 Bm7 Bm7
Never do what is proper
Cm7 Cm7 Bm7 Bm7
For my fair share of labour

Bbm7 Bbm7 Ebm7sus2 Ebm7sus2
I?m a poor boy
Bbm7 Bbm7 Ebm7sus2 Ebm7sus2
And I?m a rover
Bbm7 Bbm7 Ebm7sus2 Ebm7sus2
Count your coins and
Bbm7 Bbm7 Ebm7sus2 Ebm7sus2 Cm7 Cm7
Throw them over my shoulder
Bm7 Bm7
I may grow older


PRE-CHORUS
C7 C7
Nobody knows
B7 B7
How cold it grows
Bb7 Bb7
And nobody sees
C C
How shaky my knees
C7 C7
Nobody cares
B7 B7
How steep my stairs
Bb7 Bb7
And nobody smiles
C C
If I cross their stiles


CHORUS
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Oh poor boy
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
So sorry for himself
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Oh poor boy
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
So worried for his health
G G
You may say every day
Cm7 Cm7
Where will he stay tonight


SOLO

VERSE 2
Cm7 Cm7 Bm7 Bm7
Never know what I came for
Cm7 Cm7 Bm7 Bm7
Seems that I?ve forgotten
Cm7 Cm7 Bm7 Bm7
Never ask what I came from
Cm7 Cm7 Bm7 Bm7
Or how I was begotten

Bbm7 Bbm7 Ebm7sus2 Ebm7sus2
I?m a poor boy
Bbm7 Bbm7 Ebm7sus2 Ebm7sus2
And I?m a ranger
Bbm7 Bbm7 Ebm7sus2 Ebm7sus2
Things I say
Bbm7 Bbm7 Ebm7sus2 Ebm7sus2 Cm7 Cm7
May seem stranger than Sunday
Bm7 Bm7
Changing to Monday


PRE-CHORUS
C7 C7
Nobody knows
B7 B7
How cold it flows
Bb7 Bb7
And nobody feels
C C
The worn down heels
C7 C7
Nobody?s eyes
B7 B7
Make the skies
Bb7 Bb7
Nobody spreads
C C
Their aching heads


CHORUS
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Oh poor boy
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
So worried for his life
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Oh poor boy
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
So keen to take a wife
G G
He?s a mess but he?ll say yes
Cm7 Cm7
If you just dress in white

How steep my stairs

And nobody smiles

If you cross their stiles
