      D                              C/D
I'm a poorman's son, from across the railroad tracks,
    D                   C/D
The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back.
    D                     C/D
But I'm the envy of every single guy,
      D                C/D
Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye.
     D                         C/D
When we go out stepping on the town, for a while,
   D                   C/D
My money's low, and my suit's out of style.

Bridge 1:

         D                C/D
But it's all right, if my clothes aren't new,

 Out of sight, because my heart is true. She says...

        D                               C/D
She's a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say,
  D                           C/D
I guess her folks brought her up that way.
    D                                 C/D
The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised,
     D                           C/D
In a great big old house full of butlers and maids.

Bridge 2:

D           C/D
 No one, is better than I,
D                    C/D
 I know; I'm just an average guy.

No football hero, or smooth Don Juan,

Got empty pockets, you see; I'm a poor man's son.
      D                        C/D
Can't give her the things that money can buy,
         D                    C/D
But I'll never, never make my baby cry.

         D               C/D

 Out of sight, because my heart is true. She says...
