Tom: G
G D C G
Down in the gutter an orphan boy
G D C G
Has never been given a single joy
G D C G
Making it breaking in, selling the loot
G D C G
Hate in his eyes, a hole in his boot
[Chorus]
G D C G
And all you wealthy folks
G D C G
You drink your wine and you tell your jokes
G D C G
You sermonize and it don’t ring true
G D C G
Well there’s the door, away with you
[Verse 2]
G D C G
And down in the street there’s an orphan girl
G D C G
She’s never been given no love in the world
G D C G
Making it selling her time in hotels
G D C G
She never been one for the wedding bells
[Chorus]
G D C G
And all you wealthy queens
G D C G
Your servants and your limousines
G D C G
You talk and you talk as if you knew
G D C G
Well there’s the door, away with you
[Verse 3]
G D
They walked into the room
C G
They talked the terms a while
G D
She pulled it off and heard him say
C G
“Good lord, it’s been a while”
G D
She told him not to worry
C G
He told her not to ruse
G D C G
She told him that it always goes the way it always do
G D
And down on the 'vue below
C G
The faces look the same
G D
The town was frozen by the night
C G
The streets were wet with rain
G D C G
And after in the morning light
G D C G
He found her arms were growing tired
G D C G
He made to rise and she said no
G D C G
She said, “Hold me close before you go”
[Chorus]
G D C G
And all you wealthy folks
G D C G
You drink your wine and you tell your jokes
G D C G
You sermonize but you don’t know
G D C G
What it’s like to live below
G D C G
And all you orphan boys
G D C C
And all you orphan girls
G D C G
They will never lend a thing to you
G D
So take what you can
C G
Take all you can use
