Them that's got shall have    Them that's not shall lose
             Fm7          Bb7    Fm7      Bb7
So the Bible said and it still is news
Ebmaj7                 Ebm6     Ab9
Mama may have, Papa may have
Dm7                         G7b9          Cm7           F7
But God bless the child that's got his own
            Bb6           Eb6   Cm7   F7
That's got his own
 

Yes, the strong gets more    While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

 
Gm        Gmmaj7       Gm7     Gm6     Dm7                      A7b5   D7b9
Money, you've got lots of friends    Crowding round the door
Gm          Gmmaj7  Gm7      Gm6     Dm7           G7          C7b5      F7
When you're gone,   spending ends    They don't come no more

 

Rich relations give    Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself    But don't take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
