[Chorus]
D (Poor little rich boy, poor little rich boy) A Poor little rich boy ain't got nothin' but lots and lots of money D Poor little rich boy don't take nothin' but some sad poor boy's honey G Drives around all day with the fancy clothes in a big long limousine D A D Poor little rich boy ain't got nothin' but everything (Poor little rich boy, poor little rich boy)
[Verse 1]
D A Now there's an old saying I used to hear, keeps a-running through my mind D How a baby boy born with a silver spoon was in for a mighty bad time G Pity the rich kid I've always heard, I can't for the life of me D A D While he's a-wading in a pool of riches, I'm sinking in poverty (Poor little rich boy, poor little rich boy)
[Chorus]
D (Poor little rich boy, poor little rich boy) A Poor little rich boy ain't got nothin' but lots and lots of money D Poor little rich boy don't take nothin' but some sad poor boy's honey G Drives around all day with the fancy clothes in a big long limousine D A D Poor little rich boy ain't got nothin' but everything (Poor little rich boy, poor little rich boy)
[Verse 2]
D A I work and sweat and slaved all day but what good did it do? D There wasn’t a minute of the day that passed that I wasn't thinking 'bout you G 'Cause a poor boy's chances are mighty slim 'cause when I got into town D A D I walked by your house and saw your porch light burnin' and I knew who'd been around D (Poor little rich boy, poor little rich boy.)
[Chorus]
D (Poor little rich boy, poor little rich boy) A Poor little rich boy ain't got nothin' but lots and lots of money D Poor little rich boy don't take nothin' but some sad poor boy's honey G Drives around all day with the fancy clothes in a big long limousine D A D Poor little rich boy ain't got nothin' but everything (Poor little rich boy, poor little rich boy)
[Outro]
D (Poor little rich boy, poor little rich boy) D (Poor little rich boy, poor little rich boy) D (Poor little rich boy, poor little rich boy)
