CAPO 2

G              
Hush up, honey, don’t you cry
C                                          G
Things are gonna get better in the by-and-by
                               D
And there ain’t a thing for a poor man
          G
In this world

G
Work through the winter, work through the spring
 C                                                  G
Yeah plant my corn and taters and then it wouldn't rain
                              D
And there ain’t a thing for a poor man
        G
In this world

G
Now I got down on my knees
G
Lord I thought I’d pray
C
Along come a great big flood
G
Washed everything away
                              D
And there ain’t a thing for a poor man
        G
In this world

G
Work through the winter, Lord, work through this fall
C                                            G
All I got for Christmas was a pair of overalls
G                             D
And there ain’t a thing for a poor man
         G
In this world

G
Well I got down on my knees
G
Looked up to the sky
C                                           G
All I can think of is to ask the good Lord why
G                             D
And there ain’t a thing for a poor man
          G
In this world

G
Well hush up, honey, Lord don’t get down
C                                     G
You know that I love you every way around
G                             D
And there ain’t a thing for a poor man
        G
In this world
G                             D
And there ain’t a thing for a poor man
        G
In this world
