Well a poor boy took his father's bread and started down the road
Started down the road
A augmentedA E MajorE
Took all he had and started down the road
A augmentedA E MajorE
Going out in this world, where God only knows
B7B7 E MajorE
And that'll be the way to get along
E MajorE
Well poor boy spent all he had, famine come in the land
Famine come in the land
A augmentedA E MajorE
Spent all he had and famine come in the land
A augmentedA E MajorE
Said, "I believe I'll go and hire me to some man"
B7B7
And that'll be the way I'll get along
E MajorE
Well, man said, "I'll give you a job for to feed my swine
For to feed my swine
A augmentedA E MajorE
I'll give you a job for to feed my swine"
A augmentedA E MajorE
Boy stood there and hung his head and cried
B7B7
Cause that is no way to get along
E MajorE
Said, "I believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home
Believe I'll go back home
A augmentedA E MajorE
Believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home
A augmentedA E MajorE
Or down the road as far as I can go"

And that'll be the way to get along

Well, father said, "See my son coming home to me
Coming home to me"

Oh poor boy stood there, hung his head and cried
Hung his head and cried
A augmentedA E MajorE
Poor boy stood and hung his head and cried
A augmentedA E MajorE
Said, "Father will you look on me as a child "

Well father said, "Eldest son, kill the fatted calf,
Call the family round
A augmentedA E MajorE
Kill that calf and call the family round
A augmentedA E MajorE
My son was lost but now he is found
B7B7
Cause that's the way for us to get along"
