    Fm                                    Cm  
The higher that the monkey can climb, the more he shows his tail  
     Fm                                    Cm  
Call no man happy till he dies, there's no milk at the bottom of the pail  
Dm  
God builds a church, the devil builds a chapel   

like the thistles that are growing on the trunk of a tree  

All the good in the world you can put inside a thimble   

And still have room for you and me  
           Fm  
If there's one thing you can say about mankind   
        Dm  
There's nothing kind about man  
        Fm  
You can drive out nature with a pitch fork  
       Cm  
But it always comes roaring back again  
Fm  
Misery's the river of the world
