Little Paper Boy chords by Hank Williams

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: EADGBE

C majorC         G7G7
Out on the corner standin' so bold
                    C majorC
Stood a little paper boy so hungry and cold
           G7G7
And as the crowd came passin' by
                   C majorC
These words he said with tears in his eyes

       G7G7
"Please buy a paper from me
               C majorC
So I can get me somethin' to eat
             G7G7
My clothes are ragged, no shoes on my feet"
                    C majorC
Said the little paper boy, there on the street

            G7G7
"Out in this cold wide world all alone
                   C majorC
I have no place on this earth to call home
               G7G7
I haven't had the chance that other kids had
               C majorC
I have no mother, nor even a dad

        G7G7
So please buy a paper from me
               C majorC
So I can get me somethin' to eat
             G7G7
My clothes are ragged, no shoes on my feet "
                    C majorC
Said the little paper boy, there on the street

             G7G7
Early next mornin' as the crowd passed by
                     C majorC
The little boy was gone and they wondered why
              G7G7
They started searchin' and then found him dead
                 C majorC
He died with the papers under his head

           G7G7
No one was there his body to claim
                 C majorC
There he was lying but he felt no pain
           G7G7
Now he has gone up to Heaven we know
                   C majorC
