Intro [D* D*]

	D*
	you know you've done enough when every bone is sore

	D*
	you know you've prayed enough when you don't ask any more

	D*
	you know you're coming to some kind of understanding

	D*
	when every dream you've dreamed has passed and you're still standing

	G	A	Bm	A
	mama says	god tends	to every little skinny sheep

	G	A	D
	so count your ribs	and say your	prayers and get to sleep

	G	A	Bm	A
	nothing is	louder to god's	ears than a poor mans sorrow

	G	A	G	A
	daddy is poor today and	he will be poor tomorrow

	A	G	D
	hey that's the	poor man's	house

	A	G	D
	everybody get a	look at the poor mans	house

	A	G	D
	everywhere they	went before must have	turned them out

	A	G	D
	and now they're	living in a poor mans	house

[D* D*]

	D*
	there's nothing like poverty to get you into heaven

	D*
	they got a lot of wine and fish up there and the bread's unleavened

	D*
	they got a lot of ears that heard a whip go crack

	D*
	lots of missing toes and fingers and scars upon their backs

	G	A	Bm
	daddy's been	working too much for	days and days he doesn't eat

	G	A	D
	he never	says much but i	think this time it's got him beat

	G	A	Bm	A
	it isn't that	he isn't	strong or kind or clever

	G	A	G
	your daddy's poor today and he will be	poor forever	[ A]

	A	G	D
	hey that's the	poor man's	house

	A	G	D
	those kids are	living in a poor mans	house

	A	G	D
	they walk to	school with the soles of their	shoes worn out

	A	G	D
	and come home in the	evening to the poor mans	house

	G
	what are you chopping that wood for

	A
	why are you growing that corn

	G	A
	mama's sewing a brand new shirt and	you're wearing the one that's

torn

	G	A	D
	i guess it's for some one elses kid	who wasn't born in a poor

	G
man's	house

	D	G
a poor	man's	house

	A	G	D
	hey take a	look at that	house

	A	G	D
	everybody we're	living in a poor mans	house

	A	G	D
	seems like every	where we go they	find us out

	A	G	D
	find out that we've been	living in a poor mans	house

[D* twice and then bang on
