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:

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

I got no money  but the change

That jangles in  my pockets
