Intro
Chorus 1
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face,
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.
Just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find,
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.
Verse 1
Your mother, she'll talk about you.
Your sisters and your brothers, too.
'Don't care how you're trying to live,
They'll talk about you still.
Bridge 1
Just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find.
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.
Chorus 2
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face,
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.
Just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find,
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.
Verse 2
They'll jump you up and down,
They'll carry you around and around.
Just as soon as your back is turned,
They'll be tryin' to crush you down.
Bridge 2
Just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find.
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.
Chorus 3
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face,
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.

Notes:
1. Originally sung by Son House 'a cappella' (1930) Jack White has confirmed this
as his "favourite song".
2. This could be played alternatively in Open G (GDGDBd), to achieve a more
authentic Delta-Blues tone.
