[E] [F#] A boy's [E] born [F#m] in hard time [B] [F#] Mississippi, surrounded [F#m] by a world that ain't [E] so [F#] pretty.

[B] [F#m] .
[B] [F#] His father [B] works [F#m].
some days for fourteen [E] hours, [F#] and you [E] can bet [F#m].
he barely makes [B] a [F#] dollar.
His mother [E] goes [F#m].
to scrub the floors [F#] for many, and you best [B] believe [F#m].
she hardly gives [G#m] a penny,.
living just enough, [C#].
just [B] enough for [F#] the city.

He walks to [F#m] school, she's got to get [E] up [F#] early.
Her [B] clothes are [F#m] old, but never are they [G#m] dirty, living just enough, [C#] just enough [B].
[F#] for the city.

Her brother's [F#m] smart, he's got more sense than [G#] many.
[F#] His patience [F#m] long, but soon he [E] won't have any.
[F#] To find a job, [F#m] it's like to haste that [B] needle, [F#] cause where he [F#m] lives, they don't use [B] colored people.

[F#] God.
[F#m] His [E] [B] [F#] [G#m] hair is [F#m] long, his feet are [B] hard and frizzy.

And I'll [G#m] motivate you [F#m] to feel even [B] better tomorrow.
[F#] I [B] can prove [F#m] no love can be much colder.
[F#] If we [B] don't [F#m] change, the world will soon be [B] over.
Livin' just enough, stop givin' [F#] just [A#m] [F#m] enough [F#] For today.
