poor mans gold Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][E][Am][Cm][G]

[Verse 1]
It's [Am]the feeling I get
looking [D]down at my brand new [G]baby,
Holding [Am]on to Daddy's thumb just
as [D]tightly as he [G]can hold;
And it's [C]hearing people say he
looks alot like [G]his daddy,[C][G]
[Am]These things are a [Cm]poor
man's [G]gold.[C][G]

[Verse 2]
It's [Am]the twinkle in the eyes [D]of the gray
haired old man we call [G]Grandpa,
Telling [Am]tales to the kids that get [D]taller
every time [G]they're told;
And it's [C]knowing that for awhile
he's no longer [G]lonely,[C][G]
[Am]These things are a [Cm]poor man's gold.
[G]

[Verse 3]
It's [C]the smell of honeysuckle
in [G]the springtime,
It's [C]the silence of a freshly
[G]fallen [C]sno[G]w;
It's [C]the sound of children
laughing in the sun[Em]shine,[C]
It's [A]a crisp Autumn night with
a million stars all aglow.
[D]

[Verse 4]
It's [Am]the sweet,
sleepy sound of [D]your warm and gentle [G]breathing,
As [Am]you cling to me [D]in the night to
keep away [G]the cold;
And it's [C]the softness of your body
there in [G]the darkness,[C][G]
[Am]These things are a [Cm]poor man's gold.
[G]

[Verse 5]
Honey, [Am]these precious things
[Cm]are a poor man's [G]gold.
