Intro

Chorus 1

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face,

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.

Just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find,

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.

Verse 1

Your mother, she'll talk about you.

Your sisters and your brothers, too.

'Don't care how you're trying to live,

They'll talk about you still.

Bridge 1

Just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find.

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.

Chorus 2

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face,

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.

Just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find,

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.

Verse 2

They'll jump you up and down,

They'll carry you around and around.

Just as soon as your back is turned,

They'll be tryin' to crush you down.

Bridge 2

Just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find.

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.

Chorus 3

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face,

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.

Just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find,

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.

Notes:

1. Originally sung by Son House 'a cappella' (1930) Jack White has confirmed this

as his "favourite song".

2. This could be played alternatively in Open G (GDGDBd), to achieve a more

authentic Delta-Blues tone.
