[Intro] E [Verse]
E                 B             E
I was born on the other side of town

               B                E
Everybody over here just put me down

A                E
I never thought about it much

         B                E
Till the first time I saw you

E               B              E
Uh oh, what's a poor boy gonna do
[Verse]
E                  B              E
It's bad enough to love you from afar

                 B                E
Me down here and you up where you are

A                   E
If you hadn't given me that look

       B                E
That's all it took it's true

E                B             E
Uh oh, what's a poor boy gonna do
[Chorus]
A             E                   B
Baby what's a poor boy got, not a heck of a lot

       E
Just a heart that's true

A            E
One thing he sure don't need is

  F#                          B
A heart that bleeds and these lovesick blues
[Verse]
E        B                 E
I know a poor boy can't go far

            B                  E
Baby, maybe someday drive your car

A             E               B                E
I can look in my rear view, into those eyes of blue

E              B              E
Uh oh what's a poor boy gonna do
[Solo] E B E E B E E7 [Chorus]
A             E                   B
Baby what's a poor boy got, not a heck of a lot

       E
Just a heart that's true

A            E
One thing he sure don't need is

  F#                          B
A heart that bleeds and these lovesick blues
[Verse]
E        B                 E
I know a poor boy can't go far

            B                  E
Baby, maybe someday drive your car

A                 E               B                E
And I can look in my rear view, into those eyes of blue

E              B              E
Uh oh what's a poor boy gonna do

E              B              E   E7
Uh oh what's a poor boy gonna do
