God Bless The Child

	  		{Intro} 
C Bm7  Am7 
G13  Gm7/C  (2x) 
  
 
Verse 1:
G13        Gm7/C 
Them that's got shall get 
G13        Gm7/C 
Them that's not shall lose 
Dm/G   Dm 7/G 
So the Bible says 
Dm7/G            G9 
And it still is news 
Cmaj7 
Mama may have it 
F9-5 
Papa may have it 
Bm7            E7                  Am7 
God bless the child that's got his own 
D7          G13   Gm7/C 
That's got his own 
  

And the strong seem to get more 
While the weak ones fade 
Empty pockets don't make the grade 
Mama may have it 
And papa may have it 
God bless the child who's got his own will 
That's got his own 

  
Verse 2:
Em              Em 7   Em7           C7 
And when you got money you got lotsa friends 
Bm     Bm7/A        Gmaj7   Bm/F# 
Crowdin' 'round your door 
Em              Em 7      Em7               C7 
When the money's gone and all your spendin' ain't 
Bm7-5          E7       Am7-5   D7sus4  D7 
They won't be 'round no more 
  
 

And rich relations may give you 
Crusts of bread and such 
"You can help yourself, but don't take too much" 
Mama may have it 
And papa may have it 
God bless the child who's got his own will 
That's got his own

Every child's got to have his own
