SONG: THE POOR ARTIST: JESSE WELLES TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] [Intro] Am F Am F [Chorus]
                        Am
If you worked a little harder

                       F
Then you'd have a lot more

        Am
So the blame and the shame's on you

     F
For being so damn poor
[Verse]
              Am
It ain't the price gouging 

                     F
And it ain't the inflation

         Am
It ain't everyone above ya
Tryna make a buck from ya
     F
And screwin' the whole congregation

              Am
I had that reduced lunch

                   F
I had the benefit cards

            Am
It never occured to me
To blame my family
     F
For life being so damn hard
[Verse]
                  Am
I sholda payed attention

                    F
Back when I was in school

              Am
Then I could figure up the tax
I would know a lotta facts
              F
I missed the class
Where they taught the rules
                  Am
I was memorizing capitols

                   F
I was in the spelling bee

         Am
I musta skipped the part
Where they taught the art
    F
Of private equity

               Am
I was selling chocolate bars

           F
I had a disorder

       Am
I was cuttin' up a frog
Got lost in the fog
 F
Learnin' how to play recorder
[Pre-Chorus]
                      Am           F   Am   F
If you only worked a little harder

                        C         F
If you worked a little harder, ha ha

                        C         F
If you worked a little harder, ha ha
[Chorus]
                        Am
If you worked a little harder

                       F
Then you'd have a lot more

        Am
So the shame and the blame's on you

     F
For being so damn poor
[Verse]
              Am
It ain't the banks

                  F
And it ain't the taxes

              Am
It ain't the payday loans
And high rent homes
     F
And predatory fees and practices

          Am
Wave yer dumb flag

             F
Whatever it means

               Am
But you should ask yourself
When it comes to health
         F
Are the poor really all that free?
[Pre-Chorus]
                        C         F
If you worked a little harder, ha ha

                        C         F
If you worked a little harder, ha ha
[Chorus]
                        Am
If you worked a little harder

                  F
You'd have a lot more

        Am
So the blame and the shame's on you

     F
For being so damn poor

 Am   Am
Yeah
