poor mans son Charlie Robison
[G]I was a boy I was a good little boy
Wantin in the playground [D]fun
They said ah na ney boy you can't play
Cause you were born a poor man's [G]son
[G]I met a girl she was a pretty little girl
Would you be my only [D]one
She said meet me where nobody can see
Cause you were born a poor man's [G]son
I spent [C]all my l[G]ifetime
Thinking what I coulda [C]done
While I worked my f[G]ingers to the [D]bone
I met a [G]man he was business man
I said I'm a hard working son of a [D]gun
He said you know the rules
You should've stayed in school
Cause you were born a poor man's [G]son
SOLO
I spent [C]all my l[G]ifetime
Thinking what I coulda [C]done
While I worked my f[G]ingers to the [D]bone

He said I'm going to get me [D]some
Let's go across the tracks where
They keep that jack
All we need is a little black [G]gun
[G]They got the hounds and the tracked us down
They said we know what you have [D]done
You're gonna do the time it's gonna fit the crime
You shoulda shot a poor man's [G]son
You shoulda [D]shot a poor man's [G]son
You shoulda [D]shot a poor man's [C]son[D] [G]
