Maybe I'm a beggar by Supertramp, alb.Supertramp, 1970
Standard Tuning EADGBE
------------------------------------------------------------
  [Dm]                [F]      [Am]               [G]     
 I ain't got too much money, I ain't got too much sense
 [Dm]      [F]              [Am]           [G]
 Long ago I had a dream but that's no recompense
    [Dm]         [F]           [Am]          [G]   
 My father was a blind man, my brother was a fool
    [Dm]           [F]    
 My mother told me God is love
     [Am]             [G]
 But hatred makes the rules
 [Dm]        [Am]      [Dm]          [Am]        [Bb]
 Teach me to fly, so I shall drag my feet in the sand
 [Dm]        [Am]              [Dm]           [Am]        [Bb]
 Give me the sky, I will would take the whole world in my hand
 [Dm]            [F]           [Am]          [G]
 Well, don't you tell me that cannot last at all
 [Dm]                [F]       
 Before you know I'll come and go
     [Am]          [G]
 And make you if I can
 [Dm]        [F]          [Am]          [G]
 Maybe I'm a beggar, just check your sympathy
 [Dm]                [F]        
 They throw away the gentle love
     [Am]              [G]
 and keep the pain for me
 [Dm]      [Am]       [Dm]           [Am]       [Bb]
 Can we be free, in a world where to love is to own?
     [Dm]          [Am]       [Dm]           [Am]      [Bb]    
 Well when will we see, that a man must face life all alone?
 [Dm]        [F]          [Am]           [G]        
 Maybe I'm a beggar, just check your sympathy
     [Dm]            [F]    
 They throw away the gentle love
     [Am]              [G]
 and keep the pain for me
 [Dm]        [Am]      [Dm]          [Am]        [Bb]
 Teach me to fly, so I shall drag my feet in the sand
 [Dm]        [Am]         [Dm]           [Am]        [Bb]   
 Give me the sky, I would take the whole world in my hand
 [Dm]      [Am]       [Dm]           [Am]       [Bb]
 Can we be free, in a world where to love is to own?
      [Dm]         [Am]        [Dm]          [Am]      [Bb]
 Well when will we see, that a man must face life all alone?
     Ending is on the same chord progression.
