40 Shades of Poor Don Langdon
Intro Em A A7 A Em
Em A A7 A A7 Bm
The outhouse stood near my front door
Em A A7 A A7 E
Because we were just one shade of poor
Em A A7 A A7 Bm
Some people lived in tar paper shacks
Em A A7 A A7 E
The money they earned showed in the clothes on their backs
F#m Bm F#m
The colours of life are never black or grey
G A Bm G A Bm
And 40 shades of poor won’t go away
Em A A7 A A7 Bm
Families were large 10 kids or more
Em A A7 A A7 E
Homes were small two bedrooms no more
Em A A7 A A7 Bm
Meals were meagre but never under cooked
Em A A7 A A7 E
You never got a meal from a recipe book
F#m Bm F#m
The colours of life are never black or grey
G A Bm G A Bm
How did we get that way
Em A A7 A A7 Bm
The railroad ran past my front door
Em A A7 A A7 E
Carrying water across the tracks was a daily chore
Em A A7 A A7 Bm
Trying to make money on a wash ladies pay
Em A A7 A A7 E
People never heard of a monthly pay day
F#m Bm F#m
The colours of life are never black or grey
G A Bm
And 40 shades of poor won’t go away
G A Bm G A Bm
And 40 shades of poor won’t go away
