Poor Boy Poor Me
 


       C
As sad as it may seem
         Dm
I call pennies in between
              G                             F                        C
These cushions a good means of saving dimes

I never claimed that I'd be rich
           Dm
Never said I would try
                 G                                                F                        C
But I live well enough to eat and Ill live long enough to die

                 C
So dont sell what you can keep
           Dm
sell it high or sell it cheap
                  G                       F
For you'll miss it just the same,
                         C
poor boy poor me


Well my mother's a millionaire now
she spends it in the clouds
so i skipped town hopin' someho
And im sure some day ill hit it big as well
sad enough, only time will tell as to when
or what it's all about

So dont sell what you can keep
sell it high or sell it cheap
For you'll miss it just the same,
poor boy poor me

They say the devil will take your soul
They say this world aint no place to call home
I dont know, I often pay it all no mind
And as sad as it may seem
I called pennies in between
these cushions a good means of saving dimes

So dont sell what you can keep
sell it high or sell it cheap
For you'll miss it just the same,
poor boy poor me

I said dont sell what you can keep       
sell it high or sell it cheap
For you'll miss it just the same,
poor boy poor me
