Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 It's easy  to see a poor  boy's blues
 When he's working  every day
 It's harder  to be there in  his shoes
 He was born  to be that way
 Verse.1
 If I tell  you tomorrow  I'm leaving
 Would you understand  the reason why?
 A poor boy works hard  for  his living
 But a rich man he plays  to pass the time
 Ch.
 So goodbye, pleased to know you
We  had some laughs  along the way
 But I have to be leaving
 And there's nothing  you can do to make me stay
 Repeat verse 1+ch.
 Barclay James Harvest.Everyone is everybody else.1974.
