[Intro 1]
[C](Mama may have, [Cm]Papa may have)
(But [G]God bless the [Am]child
that's [G]got his [Am]own)
[G][Am][Bm][Am]

[Verse 1]
Them that's [G]got shall [C]get
Them that's [G]not shall [C]lose
So the [Fm]Bible [G]said and it [Fm]still is [G]news
[C]Mama may hav[Cm]e, Papa may have
But [G]God bless the [E]child
that's [Am]got his o[D]wn
That's [G]got his [Am]own
[Bm][Am]

[Verse 2]
Yes, the [G]strong gets [Am]more
While the [G]weak ones [Am]fade
Empty [Fm]pockets [G]don't
ever [Fm]make the [G]grade
[C]Mama may hav[Cm]e, Papa may have
But [G]God bless the [E]child
that's [Am]got his o[D]wn
That's [G]got his [Am]own[Dm][B]

[Bridge 1]
[Em]Money, you've got lots of friends
[Bm]Crowding round the [F#]door[Bm]
[Em]When you're gone and spending ends
[Bm]They don't [E]come no [Cm]more[D]

[Verse 3]
Rich re[G]la tions [C]give
Crust of [G]bread and [C]such
You can [Fm]help your[G]self
But don't [Fm]take too [G]much
[C]Mama may hav[Cm]e, Papa may have
But [G]God bless the [E]child
that's [Am]got his o[D]wn
That's got his own
[G](God bless the [Am]child,
the [G]child that's [Am]got his o[G]wn)
