Them that’s got seem shall get get.

Them that’s not (Bb)shall lose.

So (Dm)the Bi ble (Dm)says

and it (G7)still is news.

’Cause Ma ma, may have

and Pa pa may have

but God bless’ the (E7)child that’s got his (Am7)own.

Well, that’s got his (G7)own.

And the strong seem shall get get.

while the weak (Bb)ones fade.

Emp (Dm)ty pock ets (Dm)don’t

ev er (G7)make the grade.

’Cause Ma ma, may have

and Pa pa may have

but God bless’ the (E7)child that’s got his (Am7)own.

Well, That’s got his (G7)own.

And

And when you got (Em)mon ey,

you got lots of friends.

They’re crowd in’ (Bm7)’round

When the mon ey’s gone

and all your spend in’ ends,

they won’t be (E7)’round

And (G7)rich re la tions (Bb)may give you
