God Bless the Child

Them (Bb)that's got seem shall get get.

(G7)Them that's not (Bb)shall lose.

(Dm)So the Bible says

(Dm7)and it (G7)still is news.

(Cmaj7)'Cause Mama, may have

(F7)and Papa may have

(Bm7)but God bless' the (E7)child that's got his (Am7)own.

Well, (D7)that's got his (G7)own.

(G7)And (Bb)the strong seem shall get get.

(G7)while the weak (Bb)ones fade.

(Dm)Empty pockets (Dm7)don't

ever (G7)make the grade.

(Cmaj7)'Cause Mama, may have

(F7)and Papa may have

(Bm7)but God bless' the (E7)child that's got his (Am7)own.

Well, (D7)That's got his (G7)own.

(G7)And

(Em)And when you got money,

(Em7)you got lots of friends.

(Bm)They're crowdin' (Bm7)'round your (Gmaj9)door.

(Em)When the money's gone

and all (Em7)your spendin' ends,

(Bm7)they won't be (E7)'round any (Am7)more,

no, (D7)no, no.

And (G7)rich relations (Bb)may give you

(G7)a crust of (Bb)bread and such.

(Dm)You can help yourself

(Dm7)but (G7)don't take too much.

(Cmaj7)Mama may have

(F7)and Papa may have

(Bm7)but God bless' the (E7)child that's got his (Am7)own.

(D7)That's got his own.

(E7)child who (Am7)can stand up and say,

"I've got my own."

(C7)Ev'ry (Bm7)child's got to (Am7)have (G7)his own,

well.
