[F#] A boy's born [F#m] in Hottam, [F#] Mississippi, _ surrounded by [F#m] four walls that ain't so pretty.
His parents give him love [F#] and affection to [E] keep him strong, [F#m] moving in the right direction,
[G#m] living just enough, _ [A#m] just [C#] enough [F#] for the city.
[B] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [B] _ [F#] _
His father [E] works [F#m] some days for fourteen [E]
[F#] hours, and you can [E] bet [F#m] he barely makes [E] a dollar.
[F#] His mother [E] goes [F#m] scrub the [F#] floors for many, and you best [B] believe [F#m] she hardly [G#m] gets a penny,
living just enough, [C#] just [B] enough [F#] for the city.

_ _ _ _ _ [E] sister's black, [F#m] but she is shown to be [E] [F#] pretty.
Her [E] skirt is short, [F#m] but [G#m] nonetheless, her skirt [F#] is too old [E]-school.
[F#m] She's got to get up [G#m] [F#] early.
Her clothes are [B] old, [F#m] but never are they [G#m] dirty,
living just enough, [C#] just [G#m] enough for [F#] the city. _
[F#m] _ _ _ [G#m] [F#] Yeah!
Her brother's [B] smart.
[F#m] He's got more sense [G#] than [F#] many.
His patience [B] long, [F#m] but soon he won't [E] have [F#] any.
He'll find a job [F#m] in black or haystack [B] [F#] needle,
cause where he [F#m] lives, they don't use colored [B] people,
living just enough, [A#m] just [C#] enough for [F#] the city.
