"God Bless The Child"
            (B. Holiday - A. Herzog)

[horn intro?]

C majorC Bm7Bm7 Am7Am7

G13G13 Gm7/C [2x]

G13G13    Gm7/C
Them that's got shall get
G13G13    Gm7/C
Them that's not shall lose
Dm/G  DmDm+7/G
So the Bible says
Dm7/G      G9G9
And it still is news
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Mama may have it
F9-5
Papa may have it
Bm7Bm7      E7E7         Am7Am7
God bless the child that's got his own
D7D7     G13G13  Gm7/C
That's got his own

And the strong seem to get more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't make the grade
Mama may have it
And papa may have it
God bless the child who's got his own will
That's got his own

E minorEm       E minorEm+7  E minor 7Em7      C7C7
And when you got money you got lotsa friends
B minorBm   Bm7/A    Gmaj7Gmaj7  Bm/F#
Crowdin' 'round your door
E minorEm       E minorEm+7   E minor 7Em7        C7C7
When the money's gone and all your spendin' ain't
Bm7-5     E7E7    Am7-5  D7sus4D7sus4 D7D7
They won't be 'round no more

And rich relations may give you
Crusts of bread and such
"You can help yourself, but don't take too much"
Mama may have it
And papa may have it
God bless the child who's got his own will
That's got his own

coda:

C7C7  Bm7Bm7      Am7Am7   G7G7
Every child's got to have his own
