INTRO Cm7 Fm7sus2 (2x)


verse 1 

Cm7         Bm7 
  Never sing for my supper 
Cm7                Bm7 
  I never helped my neighbour 
Cm7       Bm7 
  Never do what is proper 
Cm7                   Bm7 
  For my fair share of labour 

Bbm7     Ebm7sus2 
   I'm a poor boy 
Bbm7        Ebm7sus2 
  And I'm a rover 
Bbm7      Ebm7sus2 
  Count your coins and 
Bbm7         Ebm7sus2 Cm7 
  Throw them over my  shoulder 
     Bm7 
I may grow older 


Pre-Chorus 

C7 
  Nobody knows 
B7 
  How cold it grows 
Bb7 
  And nobody sees 
C 
  How shaky my knees 
C7 
  Nobody cares  
B7 
  How steep my stairs 
Bb7 
  And nobody smiles 
C   
  If I cross their stiles 



C   Fmaj7 
 Oh poor boy 
C                Fmaj7  
 So sorry for himself 
C   Fmaj7 
 Oh poor boy 
C                   Fmaj7 
 So worried for his health 
        G 
You may say every day 
                     Cm7 
Where will he stay tonight 



SOLO: Cm7 Fm7sus2 (2x)


verse 2 

Cm7         Bm7 
  Never know what I came for 
Cm7                 Bm7 
  Seems that I've forgotten 
Cm7        Bm7 
  Never ask what I came from 
Cm7              Bm7 
  Or how I was begotten 

Bbm7    Ebm7sus2 
  I'm a poor boy 
Bbm7        Ebm7sus2 
  And I'm a ranger 
Bbm7    Ebm7sus2 
Things I say  
Bbm7    Ebm7sus2       Cm7 
May seem stranger than Sunday  
        Bm7 
Changing to Monday 


Pre-Chorus
 
C7 
 Nobody knows  
B7 
 How cold it flows 
Bb7 
 And nobody feels 
C 
 The worn down heels 
C7 
 Nobody?s eyes  
B7 
 Make the skies 
Bb7 
 Nobody spreads 
C 
 Their aching heads 



C   Fmaj7 
 Oh poor boy 
C                   Fmaj7 
 So worried for his life 
C   Fmaj7 
 Oh poor boy 
C                  Fmaj7 
 So keen to take a wife 
       G 
He?s a mess but he?ll say yes 
                     Cm7 
If you just dress in white

Pre-Chorus
 
C7  
 Nobody knows

 And nobody sees 
C 
 How shaky my knees 
C7 
 Nobody cares 
B7 
 How steep my stairs 
Bb7 
 And nobody smiles 
C 
 If you cross their stiles 



C   Fmaj7 
 Oh poor boy 
C                Fmaj7 
 So sorry for himself 
C   Fmaj7 
 Oh poor boy

 So worried for his health 
        G 
You may say every day

Where will he stay tonight
