[Verse 1]
[D]A rich mans got his picture

But [C]he don't know a dam[A]n t[G]hing
'Bout when a poor [F]man
[D]gets the blues

[Verse 2]
[D]
Rich man thinks his shoes are made
[G]To walk wherever he wants
[D]From the top of all them high rise
Buildings [A]to the bottom
of the honky [Asus4]tonks
[D]He'll step on everything in between
[G]But he won't walk a mile in my shoes
And [C]he don't know a [G]damn thing
