Horn Intro?

G13 Gm7/C [2x]

Them that's got shall get Them that's not shall lose Dm/G Dm+7/G So the Bible says And it still is news Mama may have it Papa may have it God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own

And the strong seem to get more While the weak ones fade Empty pockets don't make the grade Mama may have it And papa may have it God bless the child who's got his own will That's got his own

Em Em+7 Em7 C7 And when you got money you got lotsa friends Crowdin' 'round your door Em Em+7 Em7 C7 When the money's gone and all your spendin' ain't They won't be 'round no more

And rich relations may give you Crusts of bread and such "You can help yourself, but don't take too much" Mama may have it And papa may have it God bless the child who's got his own will That's got his own

Coda:

Every child's got to have his own
