G+G
I was a boy I was a good little boy
             D MajorD
Wantin in the playground fun
They said ah na ney boy you can't play

I met a girl she was a pretty little girl
           D MajorD
Would you be my only one
She said meet me where nobody can see

Cause you were born a poor man's son

I spent all my lifetime
            C majorC
Thinking what I coulda done
          G+G       D MajorD
While I worked my fingers to the bone
    G+G
I met a man he was business man
                  D MajorD
I said I'm a hard working son of a gun
He said you know the rules
You should've stayed in school
                 G+G
Cause you were born a poor man's son

I met a guy he was a crazy guy
              D MajorD
He said I'm going to get me some
Let's go across the tracks where
They keep that jack
               G+G
All we need is a little black gun
G+G
They got the hounds and the tracked us down
                D MajorD
They said we know what you have done

You're gonna do the time it's gonna fit the crime
               G+G

You shoulda shot a poor man's son
