C           G        Am    G     C          G
Men of good fortune, often cause empires to fall
C                 G           Am    G           C        G
While men of poor beginnings, often can't do anything at all
A5                                   A5 G5
The rich son waits for his father to die
F5                      F5 G5
The poor just drink and cry
A5    G5                    F5
And me I just don't care at all

Men of good fortune, very often can't do a thing
While men of poor beginnings, often can do anything
At heart they try to act like a man
Handle things the best way they can
They have no rich daddy to fall back on

C Em  Am
C Em  Am

Men of good fortune, often cause empires to fall
While men of poor beginnings, often can't do anything at all
It takes money to make money they say
Look at the Fords, but didn't they start that way
Anyway, it makes no difference to me

Men of good fortune, often wish that they could die
While men of poor beginnings want what they have
And to get it they'll die
All those great things that live has to give
They wanna have money and live
But me, I just don't care at all

C Em  Am
      Men of good fortune
C Em  Am
      Men of poor beginnings
