[Verse 1]
G                          G7
I've traveled from town to town
           C               Cm
Seems like everybody wanna throw me down
G
'Cause I'm a poor man
A7 D7    G C    G D
But I'm a good man, understand

[Verse 2]
G
I went down to the train station
G7
Looked up on the wall
C
My money was too light, baby
Cm
Couldn't go nowhere at all
G
'Cause I'm a poor man
A7 D7    G C    G D
But I'm a good man, understand

[Chorus]
C                  Cm         G
The burden that I carry is so heavy, you see
A7
It seems like there ain't nobody in this world
D7
Who would wanna help poor me

[Verse 3]
G
Well, I would be all right, baby
G7
Just give me a break
C                   Cm
Good things come to those who wait
G
'Cause I've been a good man
A7 D7   G C   G D
But I'm a poor man, understand
