[Eb] [Ab] Them that's [Fm] got shall have, them that's not shall lose.
[Gbm] So the [Ebm] Bible [F] [Gbm] said, and it [Ab] still is news,
[Db] Mama [Fm] may [E] have, Papa [Ab] may [Bb] [Fm] have,
God [F] bless the child [Bbm] that's got his own, [Ab] that's got [Db] his own.
[Ab] [Db] [Ab] Yes, the [Bbm] strong get small, [Fm] [Bbm] while the weak ones fade,
[Gbm] [Ab] Empty pockets [Gbm] don't ever [Ab] make the [Bbm] grade.
[Ab] Mama may [Dbm] have, [E] Papa [Ab] may have,
But [F] God bless [C] the [Bbm] child that's got his [Cm] own, that's [Ab] got his own.
[Bbm]
[Ebm] [C] Tell them the way it is, Billy.
[Fm] Money, [C]
[Ab] you've got lots [Fm] [A] of it around [G] the door,
[Eb] [C] [Fm] But when [Ab] you're gone, and [D] spending [A] ends,
They don't come [Bb] no more.
[Eb] [Ab] Rich relations [Bbm] give [Ab] crusts [Db] of bread as such,
[Gbm] You can [Ab] help yourself, [Gbm] but don't [Ab] take too [Bbm] much.
Mama [Fm] may [Bb] have, [E] Papa may have,
[Ab] But [F] God bless the [Db] child that's got his [Eb] own, [G] [Eb] that's got his [Ab] own.
