Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Look[D]in' beneath the [A]cushions of
the [G]couch to find a [D]dime
That's [A]livin' below the poverty [D]line
[A]Have to [D]give up drinkin'[A] unless
[G]someone else is buy[D]in'
That's [A]livin' below the poverty [D]line
Lost [G]my job in a clothes [D]factory
In deep despair I say a prayer, oh
Lord have mercy [A]on me
[D]Sometimes this old world
is so [G]unkind
That's [D]livin' below the poverty [A]line[D][A][D][A]
[G][D][A][D][A][D][A][G][D][A][D]
Landlord's gonna kick [A]me out [G]cause my
rent's been way behind
[D]That's [A]livin' below the poverty [D]line
[A]This [D]minimum wage job [A]was the
[G]only job that I [D]could find
That's [A]livin' below the [D]poverty line
I've [G]been havin' trouble
with my auto[D]mobile
It rattles and shakes and always breaks
down and it breaks [A]all squeal
And [D]that kind of puts me [G]in a bind
Cause I'm living [D]below [A]the poverty [D]line
[G]I'm living bel[D]ow the poverty lin[A]e[D][A][D][A]
[G][D][A][D][A][D][A][G][D][A][D]
I've [G]been livin' on beans
and rice and spam
[D]Once in a while my mother calls to ask me
how [A]I am I l[D]ie to her and say
I'm doin' [G]fine
[D]That's livin' be[A]low the poverty [D]line
[G]That's liv[D]in' below the poverty line
[G]That's liv[D]ing below [A]the poverty [D]line
