Standard (EADGBE)

 It's easy to see a poor boy's blues

 When he's working every day

 It's harder to be there in his shoes

 He was born to be that way

Verse.1

 If I tell you tomorrow I'm leaving

 Would you understand the reason why?

 A poor boy works hard for his living

 But a rich man he plays to pass the time

Ch.

[G/f#]

So goodbye, pleased to know you

We had some laughs along the way

[G/f#]

But I have to be leaving

 And there's nothing you can do to make me stay

Repeat verse 1+ch.

Barclay James Harvest.Everyone is everybody else.1974.
