The Sun Never Shines On The Poor Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

TFhe urchins are writhing around in the mud

LF♯ike eels playing tag in a barrel

TA♯he old Sally Army plays mournful & sweet Gm

ADms they play an oldA♯ Christmasy caArol

TFhe world is as dark as a black night in hell

WF♯hat kind of place can this be?

OA♯h! People like hermit crabs run into doorways Gm

FDmearing to say,

"A♯Do you feel as dowA7ntrodden as me?"

Chorus

TDming-

A-ling ting-

A-ling

TA7he devil, he leans on your bell

TA♯he future looks bGm7lack as beA7fore

(

A7)

And the sun never shines,

TDmhe sun never shines on the poor!

The rich man he dreams of his gold and his plate

And his house and his car and his women

The poor man he dreams of his one room estate

And his pay packet short by one shilling

The last penny falls through a hole in your jeans

Now ain't that the way when you're down?

Just walking in circles for the rest of your life

And feeling so low that your chin scrapes along

on the ground.

Now some of the people are poor in the purse

They don't have the cash at the ready

And some of the people they're crippled and lame

They can never stand up true and steady

And some of the people are poor in the head

Like the simpleton fools that you see

But most of the people are poor in the heart

That's the worst kind of poor,

That's the worst kind of poor you can be!

Hope it helps! Any improvements welcome.
