            Billie Holiday / Arthur Herzog Jr.

[Intro]
Ebmaj7   Abmaj7   Ebmaj7  Abmaj7

[Verse 1]
            Ebmaj7    Abmaj7
Them that's got shall get
            Ebmaj7    Abmaj7   Bbm7
Them that's not shall lose
          Eb7        Bbm7       Eb7           Abmaj7
So the    Bible said     and it still is news

[Chorus]
        Ebmaj7    Abm7         F7        Gm7
Mama    may have,      Papa    may have
                  C7                   Fm7  Bb7
But God bless the child that's got his own
               Ebmaj7    Abmaj7   Ebmaj7  Abmaj7
That's got his own

[Verse 2]
         Ebmaj7             Abmaj7
Yes, the strong just gets more
          Ebmaj7           Abmaj7   Bbm7
While the weak ones fade away
         Eb7           Bbm7       Eb7             Abmaj7
Empty    pockets won't     ever   make the grade

[Chorus]
         Ebmaj7    Abm7         F7        Gm7
Mama     may have,      Papa    may have
                  C7                   Fm7   Bb7
But God bless the child that's got his own
               Ebmaj7    Abmaj7   Ebmaj7  Abmaj7  Cm7
That's got his own

[Bridge]
                Cmin/maj7    Cmin7                  Cm6
When you've got money,           you've got lots of friends
     Gm7      Cm6       Gm7   Gm7   Cm7
Just crowding round the door
                  Cmin/maj7      Cm7          Cm6       
But when it's gone,  and the     spending ends
     Gm7        D7       G7   G7
They don't come round no more
       Cm7     Cmin/maj7   Cm7
Rich relations bring you
          Cm6             Gm7
Crusts of bread and such
                 C7
You can help yourself
          Fm7         Bb7    Ebmaj7
But don't    take too much

[Chorus]
       Abmaj7     Am7     F7       Gm7
Mama   may have,     Papa may have
                  C7                   Fm7    Bb7
But God bless the child that's got his own
               Ebmaj7    Abmaj7   Ebmaj7
That's got his own
     Abmaj7    Abm7      F7       Gm7
Mama may have,      Papa may have
                  C7                   Fm7   Bb7
But God bless the child that's got his own
               Ebmaj7   Abmaj7   Ebmaj7
That's got his own
