[Bm] [A] [D]
When a man has got the blues and feels discouraged,
And [G] has nothing [D] else but trouble [A] all his life,
Well, [D] he's just an honest man like any other,
[Bm] Living in a world of [A] aggravating strife.
And if [D] he's sick and tired of life and takes to drink,
Do not pass him by, don't meet him with [G] a frown,
Do not fail to lend your hand and [D] try to help him,
[Bm] Always lift him up [D] and never knock him down.
[Bm]
[A] [D] If he stays out late at night because he's troubled,
Or [G] because his [D] home is not what it [A] should be,
Have [D] a smile for him wherever you might meet him,
It [F#m] will help him find the right way, don't you [A] see?
And if [D] he gambles when he's in the town or city,
Tell him what he ought to do to [G] gain the crown,
Do not fail to lend your hand and show [D] him pity,
[Bm] Always lift him up [A] and never [D] knock him down.
[Bm]
[A] [D]
[D] If he has no friends and everything's against him,
[G] If he's failed in everything [D] that [A] he has tried,
Try [D] to lift this load and help him bear his burden,
[Bm] Let him know that you are walking by [A] his side,
That if he feels that all is lost and he has fallen,
Help to place this poor man's feet on solid [G] ground,
Just remember he's some other's precious [D] darling,
[Bm] Always lift him up and never [D] knock him down.
