Strum
D-DU-UDU
Can you believe me when I say there's nothing I like better
Than just to sit here and talk with you
Although I'll rant and I'll rave about one thing and another
The beauty of it is, hope youll agree
Though I'm a poor boy
I can still be happy
As long as I can feel free
So many people I know getting old way too early
(Well are you feeling kind of weary?)
Just to impress you with the money they made
(You better, you better, you better change your theory)
One drop of rain they complain, and it's the same about the ways they're earning
Well that is not the way I'm gonna be
Don't mind the rain, don't mind snow
Don't mind nothing, If I know
You will be right here with me
________________ point of view
How can we all afford to live like you?
The simple life is simply not enough
We have appearances we must keep up
(Clarinet Solo)
Poor boy, if that's the way it's gotta be
Poor boy, it's you for you and me for me
Poor boy
I've tried all I can understanding all the fools and all their money
When half of what they got you know they never will use
Enough to get by suits me fine, I don't care if they think I'm funny
I'm never gonna change my point of view
Don't mind the rain, don't mind snow
Don't mind nothing, If I know
You will be right here with me
All the way, na-na-nah
Don't mind the rain, don't mind snow
Don't mind nothing, If I know
You will be right here with me
(Outro)
- Most of the chords (especially the Eb and Bb) are power chords (except
the A7 and D7), some of the less common chords maybe a little out due to
the song being played on piano and tabbed for guitar, but I did the best
I could given that I don't yet have a piano. These chords should work on
piano, although some adjustment might be necessary.
- There is a space on the first line that Roger takes the lead on, the
phrase that precedes 'point of view', because there are several
conflicting lines on the internet and I don't have the CD lyrics to hand,
so I left it blank. All other lines are almost definitely accurate, any
that aren't right are likely mistakes on my part.
Great song, one of my favourites by Supertramp, enjoy.
