Verse:
     D                     G                     D
Rich man grew old, owned a mansion on top of the hill
Now he's sitting at the table with his lawyer
               A
Goin' over his will 'cause he's ill
    G                                               D
The kids don't call, they're waitin' for the man to die
           E
He's gonna leave 'em all a little somethin'
            A
But they're gonna be real surprised

          D                    G                           D
There's a poor man livin' on a budget at the bottom of the hill
With a wife and two kids and a worried mind
      A
About how he's gonna pay the bills
      G
Well, only the rich man knows see,
D
That's where a lot of his money goes
       E
To the man that brought wood in the winter
                 A
To take a little weight off his shoulders

             D            G                     D
There's this thing called wantin' and havin' it all
If you're gonna get there you're gonna have to walk
    A
But first you'll have to crawl
        D                       G
And you know you've gotta do it step by step
D                   Bm             A
Miss one and you'll fall into this well
                             D   G D G D G D D
Called wantin' and havin' it all

D                  G                       D
Poor man has every thing that the rich man don't
He's got love in his life and his heart
           A
He's got a house he calls home
    G                                     D
The rich man owns everything for miles ar ound
    E                                A
But what he needs can't be bought it has to be found

    D                            G                            D
His rich kids think that they're better 'cause they're better off
That's how they grew up thinkin' and now
               A
He thinks it's all his fault
   G                            D
So while there's still time the daddy that they nickel and dime
         E
Is gonna make 'em learn to take a turn
    A
And stand in line

         D            G                     D
