C Bm7 Am7
G13 Gm7/C [2x]
G13Them that'sGm7/C got shall get
G13Them that'sGm7/C not shall lose

So the Bible says
Dm7/GAnd it still is nG9ews
Cmaj7Mama may have it
F9-5Papa may have it
Bm7God bless the cE7hild that's got his Am7own
D7That's got hG13is ownGm7/C
And the strong seem to get more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't make the grade
Mama may have it
And papa may have it
God bless the child who's got his own will
That's got his own
Em Em+7 Em7 C7
And when you got money you got lotsa friends
BmCrowdinBm7/A' 'round yourGmaj7 door Bm/F#
Em Em+7 Em7 C7
When the money's gone and all your spendin' ain't
Bm7-5 E7 Am7-5 D7sus4 D7
They won't be 'round no more
And rich relations may give you
Crusts of bread and such
"You can help yourself, but don't take too much"
Mama may have it
And papa may have it
God bless the child who's got his own will
That's got his own
coda:
C7Every Bm7child's got to Am7have his G7own
