Intro: Cm Ab Cm Ab Verse: Cm I've seen good men spoiled Ab Chained to their jobs like hounds Bb They work and sleep and work again G In the darkest nights they howl Cm Their cries are a warning Ab To everyone following Bb No man should stand to work all of his days G And have nothing at the end of them Chorus: Cm Ab I got no money but the change Bb G That jingles in my pockets Fm Bb Cm G Reminding me how little I have Cm Ab But as for time I am Bb G Powerless to stop it Fm Bb Cm Cm G G G G Keeps rambling on like a man, wandering man Verse: Cm My papa was a howling man Ab Traded in his youth Bb Sold his dreams and all of his days G For the great American ruse Cm And my dear papa gave me Ab Lessons I cant regret Bb He said all that he'd done would be for nothing G If I followed in his steps Chorus: Cm Ab I got no money but the change Bb G That jingles in my pockets Fm Bb Cm G Reminding me how little I have Cm Ab But as for time I am Bb G Powerless to stop it Fm Bb Cm Cm G G G G Keeps rambling on like a man, wandering man Verse: Cm My papa taught me how to howl Ab How to bear my teeth and growl Bb He taught me that the hand that feeds G Deserves to be bitten when it beats Cm He taught me how to break my chains Ab And that money ain't worth a thing Bb And that no man should get G More of my time than me, yeah me Verse: (nc) Cm I may never be a rich man Ab Bb G But I can make sure that I am free Cm I may never be a rich man Ab Bb G The rich man will never have me, never have me Cm I may never be a rich man Ab Bb G But I can make sure that I am free Cm I may never be a rich man Ab Bb G The rich man will never have me, never have me Outro: Cm Ab I got no money but the change Bb G That jangles in my pockets Cm Bb Cm G Reminding me how little I have Cm Ab Bb G But as for tiiiiime, as for tiiiiime Cm Ab Bb G Is miiiiine, Is miiiiine This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
