[D] [A]
[D] Hungry little baby on a cold hard floor
Crying for milk but there ain't no [G] more
We can't get [A] credit at the grocery store
But that's how it [D] is when you're poor
Cry tears little baby for the future in store
A life of trouble [E] for a child born poor
[G] Slave all your life not [A] knowing what for
But that's how [D] it is when you're poor
[Eb] There's not enough money to go to school
We can't afford to close up at the social pools
[Ab] Lord forgive me [Bb] when I curse the rules
But that's how it is when [Eb] you're poor
Gotta work hard for bills to be paid
16 hours there's a [F] living to be made
Never get [Bb] ahead just living day to day
That's how it [Eb] is when you're poor
[E] Hard work vetted in the back of my mind
Don't have much money but we've got a lot of time
[A] Depends on [B] the time
But that's how [E] it is when you're poor
Old house needs fixing but that'll have to wait
I dream about a life that could be real great
[A] I hope it's not [B] little b too late
But that's how it is when you're [E] poor
[D] Hungry little baby on a cold hard floor
Crying for milk but there ain't no [G] more
We can't get [A] credit at the grocery store
But that's how it [D] is when you're poor
