G                    D      C    G
Down in the gutter an orphan boy
      G                    D    C    G
Has never been given a single joy
  G                    D             C    G
Making it breaking in, selling the loot
  G                    D         C    G
Hate in his eyes, a hole in his boot


[Chorus]


  G      D      C    G
And all you wealthy folks
      G          D            C         G
You drink your wine and you tell your jokes
     G      D          C          G
You sermonize and it don’t ring true
  G                    D      C    G
Well there’s the door, away with you


[Verse 2]

  G                        D               C    G
And down in the street there’s an orphan girl
  G                         D           C    G
She’s never been given no love in the world
  G                    D         C    G
Making it selling her time in hotels
  G                           D      C    G
She never been one for the wedding bells


[Chorus]
   G      D      C    G
And all you wealthy queens
     G         D        C      G
Your servants and your limousines
    G              D      C       G
You talk and you talk as if you knew
    G             D      C        G
Well there’s the door, away with you


[Verse 3]
       G               D
They walked into the room
        C                G
They talked the terms a while
        G                  D
She pulled it off and heard him say
       C                   G
“Good lord, it’s been a while”
       G                D
She told him not to worry
      C              G
He told her not to ruse
      G                 D             C             G
She told him that it always goes the way it always do
       G                D
And down on the 'vue below
       C              G
The faces look the same
      G               D
The town was frozen by the night
       C                    G
The streets were wet with rain
      G            D       C    G
And after in the morning light
     G                   D       C    G
He found her arms were growing tired
     G               D        C     G
He made to rise and she said no
             G             D         C    G
She said, “Hold me close before you go”


[Chorus]
     G    D     C       G
And all you wealthy folks
     G           D            C          G
You drink your wine and you tell your jokes
     G      D       C          G
You sermonize but you don’t know
    G       D       C       G
What it’s like to live below
     G    D     C       G
And all you orphan boys
     G    D      C      C
And all you orphan girls
   G         D          C          G
They will never lend a thing to you
    G             D
So take what you can
      C           G
Take all you can use
