_ [Em] Empty gentleman walked a crooked mile
Got a money in his pocket
Did it all with a very handsome smile
Now he's living it up in [D] a great big office
He ain't [G] gonna help no poor man
He ain't [G] gonna help no [D] poor man
He ain't gonna [G] help no [D] poor man
He's just gonna [G] have a good day

_ [D] _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ He [G] ain't gonna help no [D] woman
He ain't gonna [G] help no [D] children
He's just gonna [G] help his friends
_ _ [Em] Such a gentleman [D] we see on TV
[Em] Flat-handed folks chatting [D] through the mesh
[Em] We never knew what really [D] to believe
[E] It's a word-upon-slogan with a motion of connection
And in the papers always had to [Em] read
And so and so a good shot [D] signed his [Em] resignation
Now good gentleman he [D] wants us to [Em] believe
That he's kind and honest [D] is the best of his son
