[G][C][D][G][C][D][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Didn't
know when I was luck[C]y[D]
Discon[G]tented, feeling bad
[C]Fil[D]led wit[G]h envy for possessio[C]ns
other [D]people [C]had
Thought my [G]pride had [Em]always hurt [C]me
[D]Thought the[G] world took in contro[C]l
[D]Not real[G]izing I [C]was sitting
on [D]a beach or a b[C]oat
Oh Lord, I'm a [G]poor [Em]man
[C]Wit[D]h all the ric[G]hes I can[Em] hold[C]
[D]I'm [G]a b[Em]eggar
Sit[C]ting on a [D]beach of [C]gold
[G]But[C] the pro[G]blems I encountered
[C]Hel[D]ped me [G]think and me sus[C]tain
[D]To know the [G]pleasure
[Em]First [C]I had to fee[D]l the pai[C]n
When I was [G]searching
[Em]for solution[C]s
[D]Found [G]the answer [Em]lay in me
[C]I'm[D] a d[G]rifter
[Em]Drif[G]ting o[C]n a silv[D]er sea[C]
Oh Lord, I'm a [G]poor [Em]man[C]
[D]With all the [G]riches I [Em]can [C]hold
[D]I'm a [G]beggar
[Em]sit [C]tin' on a [D]beach of g[C]old
I didn't have courage,
my life was [D]as dark as [Dsus4]night
[D]Whe[F]n alone in the darkness,
I saw the [D]brightest light
[Dsus4]When the [D]light shone down

[Verse 2]
Are you [G]out there now, [C]Auntie?
[D]Feel there's nothing[G] left to giv[C]e?
[D]As it [G]could try,
[C]have you lost the [D]will to [C]live?
Don't be [G]drowning in the shad[C]ows
[D]With the[G] beach so near at han[C]d
[D]Hear [G]the voice say
[C]Get up, stand [D]up and [C]join
me on the gillard sand
Come and join me on the [G]beach[Em]
[C]Wit[D]h all the ric[G]hes I c[Em]an hold[C]
[D]I'm [G]a beggar[Em]
Sit[C]ting on a [D]beach of [C]gold
With my family all [G]around [Em]me
[C]I h[D]old the rich[G]es I ca[Em]n hold[C]
[D]I'm [G]a beggar[Em]
Sit[C]ting on a [D]beach of [C]gold

[D]I'm a beg[G]gar
[Em]sit [C]ting on the [D]killing [C]sand
[G]Lord, [C]I'm a poo[G]r man
[Em]with [C]all[D] the ri[G]ches[Em][C]
[D]I'm a [G]beggar,
[Em]sitting [C]on a beach[D] of gold[C]
With my family all [G]around [Em]me
[C]I'm [D]dev[G]oted to thi[Am]s man[C],
[D]I'm a beg[G]gar[Em]
