[Verse]
E
My daddy said "Son, don't you come to me cryin'
E
Cause money don't make you a happy man"
A
He said the grass is always greener
E
Any place except where you stand
B
He said some are born to win
A
And some born to lose
E B
And sing them poor boy blues
[Verse 2]

Watch out I've lived uptown, downtown
A E
Lord I've lived everywhere

Almost drowned in the puddle of my own sweat I swear
B A E B
I believe it's due time I get my mansion in ole Bel Air
[Chorus]

Singin poor boy blues poor boy blues

You don't know how I'm feeling baby

Until you're wearing my shoes

I got them poor boy blues
[Verse 3]
E
Friday night I get tanked up
A E
And tossed in the local slam
A
At least I get three square meals
E
Until someone gets me out of this jam
B A
In the meanwhile all my green
E B
Is going to Uncle Sam
[Chorus 2]
E
Singin poor boy blues poor boy blues

You don't know how I'm feeling baby

Until you're wearing my shoes

Sure as I'm standing here

I got them poor boy blues
