G7 C Gdim C Gdim Them that's got shall get, them that's not shall lose; Gm7 C9 Gm7 C9 So the Bible said, and it still is news. F Fdim(III) Fm Fdim Mama may have, papa may have, Em7 Gdim Dm7 G7 But God bless the child that's got his own, G7/5+ C Am7 Dm7 G7 That's got his own. G7 C Gdim C Gdim Yes, the strong gets more, while the weak ones fade, Gm7 C9 Gm7 C9 Empty pockets don't ever make the grade; F Fdim(III) Fm Fdim Mama may have, papa may have, Em7 Gdim Dm7 G7 But God bless the child that's got his own, G7/5+ C C7/5- F7 E7 That's got his own. Bridge: Am7 Am7+ Am7 Am6 Em Em7+ Em7 Em6 Money, you got lots o' friends crowdin' round the door; Am7 Am7+ Am7 Am6 When you're gone, and spending ends, Em Edim G#7 G7 They don't come no more. G7 C Gdim C Gdim Rich relations give crust of bread and such; Gm7 C9 Gm7 C9 You can help yourself, but don't take too much. F Fdim(III) Fm Fdim Mama may have, papa may have, Em7 Gdim Dm7 G7 But God bless the child that's got his own, G7/5+ C That's got his own.
