Chords

I've written the basic chords to this song- there are lots of bluesy riffs throughout which I've not included. [Intro] G C G D7 [Chorus]
             G                     C          G
Well there's food on the table and love in my heart

      Em                    G
And a real good woman and a couple of kids

      D7
And a dog that thinks I'm smart

        G                     G7
I got a big old mortgage on a little old house

    C                     Em
And car that'll sometimes start

            C           G         D7         C/G
But there's food on the table and love in my heart
[Verse 1]
        G                   C      G
Oh, the roof is leaking but I care not

C                    G
Gather those buckets pans and pots

Em                            Am7
Carry 'em and pour 'em in the sink a lot

  D7
I turn the heat up higher

  G                    C           G
I don't have much that didn't come free

C               G
Bills eat up my salary

          Em                      C
But I can still hang goodies on a Christmas tree

    D7                G
And sing by crackling fire
[Chorus]
            G                     C          G
And there's food on the table and love in my heart

      Em                    G
And a real good woman and a couple of kids

      D7
And a dog that thinks I'm smart

        G                     G7
I got a big old mortgage on a little old house

    C                     Em
And car that'll sometimes start

            C           G         D7         C/G
But there's food on the table and love in my heart
[Verse 2]
G                             C          G
Well I don't have money but I sure ain't poor

C               G
Many a rich man still wants more

Em                 Am7
Sooner or later he buys the store

       D7
And he still ain't satisfied

   G                  C       G
It never took much to make me smile

  C                    G
A new pair of jeans to keep in style

      Em                         C
And a little bit of loving every once in a while

   D7                G
To stroke my foolish pride
[Chorus]
         G                     C          G
And some food on the table and love in my heart

      Em                 G
And a real good woman to call me honey

       D7
And to hold me in the dark

        G                      G7
Oh, the winds may howl and the roof cave in

        C              Em
And the world may fall apart

            C           G         D7         G
But there's food on the table and love in my heart
[Interlude] G C G D7 [Final Chorus]
G
Food on the table and love in my heart

      Em
And a real good woman and a couple of kids

      D7
And a dog that thinks I'm smart

        G                     G7
I got a big old mortgage on a little old house

    C                     Em
And car that'll sometimes start

            C           G         D7         G
But there's food on the table and love in my heart

C           G         D7             C/G     C7   G
Food on the table and looooove in my heart
