[Verse]
            Amaj7     Dmaj7
Them that's got shall get
            Amaj7     Dmaj7   Em7
Them that's not shall lose
       A7                Em7      A7    Dmaj7
So the Bible said and it still is news

[Chorus]
        Amaj7  Dm7     B7        C#m7
Mama may have,   Papa  may have
                  F#7          Bm7          E7
But god bless the child that's got his own
       Amaj7        Dmaj7  Amaj7  Dmaj7
That's got his own

[Verse]
         Amaj7             Dmaj7
Yes, the strong just gets more
          Amaj7           Dmaj7   Em7
While the weak ones fade away
         A7           Em7       A7             Dmaj7
Empty    pockets won't     ever   make the grade

[Chorus]
        Amaj7  Dm7     B7        C#m7
Mama may have,   Papa  may have
                  F#7          Bm7          E7
But god bless the child that's got his own
       Amaj7        Dmaj7  Amaj7  Dmaj7
That's got his own

[Bridge]
                Cmmaj7  Cm7                Cm6
When you've got money,  you've got lots of friends
     C#m7     F#m6      C#m7   F#m7
Just crowding round the door
              Cmmaj7        Cm7      Cm6
But when it's gone, and the spending ends
     C#m7       G#7      C#7
They don't come round no more
       Cm7     Cmmaj7   Cm7
Rich relations bring you
          F#m6            C#m7
Crusts of bread and such
                 F#7
You can help yourself
         Bm7         E7    Amaj7
But don't   take too much

[Chorus]
        Amaj7  Dm7     B7        C#m7
Mama may have,   Papa  may have
                  F#7          Bm7          E7
But god bless the child that's got his own
       Amaj7        Dmaj7  Amaj7  Dmaj7
That's got his own

[Chorus]
        Amaj7  Dm7     B7        C#m7
Mama may have,   Papa  may have
                  F#7          Bm7          E7
But god bless the child that's got his own
       Amaj7        Dmaj7  Amaj7  Dmaj7
That's got his own
