	  		Capo on 2nd 
 
 
D                 A             D 
I was born on the other side of town 
               A                  D 
Everybody over there just puts me down 
G               D                            A           D               
I never thought about it much, ?til the first time I saw you 
                A              D 
Uh-oh, what's a poor boy gonna do 
 
 
 
(Verse 2 played same as first) 
It's bad enough to love you from afar 
Me down here and you up where you are 
If you hadn't given me that look, that's all it took it's true 
U-oh, what's a poor boy gonna do 
 
 
 
G             D                   A         
Baby what's a poor boy got, not a heck of a lot 
       D   
Just a heart that's true 
G             D                     E 
One thing he sure don't need is a heart that bleeds 
          A 
And these lovesick blues 
 
 
 
(Played the same as verse 1&2) 
 
I know a poor boy can't go far 
Baby, maybe someday drive your car 
I can look in my rearview, into those eyes of blue 
Uh-oh what's a poor boy gonna do
