Poor Side Of Town
By Johnny Rivers

Intro chords:
E  F#m   E  F#m


E                                F#m
How can you tell me how much you miss me
E                           F#m
When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me
A                      G#m
That rich guy you been seein'
F#m               A
Must have put you down
   E                  A
So welcome back, baby
       B            E
To the poor side of town

To him you were nothing but a little plaything
Not much more than an overnight fling
To me you were the greatest thing
This boy had ever found
And girl, it's hard to find nice things
On the poor side of town

Bridge:
D                     G
I can't blame you for tryin'
C             Bm
I'm tryin' to make it too
C                   Bm
I've got one little hangup, baby
Am                      G       
I just can't make it without you 

So tell me, are you gonna stay now
Will you stand by me all the way now
With you by my side
They can't keep us down
Together we can make it, baby
From the poor side of town

So tell me how much you love me
Come near to me and say you need me now
Oh, with you by my side
This world can't keep us down
Together we can make it, baby
From the poor side of town
