C           G        Am    G     C          G
Men of good fortune, often cause empires to fall
C                 G           Am    G           C        G
While men of poor beginnings, often can't do anything at all
A5                                   A5 G5
The rich son waits for his father to die
F5                      F5 G5
The poor just drink and cry
A5    G5                    F5
And me I just don't care at all
C           G        Am    G     C          G
Men of good fortune, very often can't do a thing
C           G        Am       G     C          G
While men of poor beginnings, often can do anything
A5                              A5 G5
At heart they try to act like a man
F5                      F5 G5
Handle things the best way they can
A5    G5                    F5
They have no rich daddy to fall back on

C           G        Am    G     C          G
Men of good fortune, often cause empires to fall
C                 G           Am    G           C        G
While men of poor beginnings, often can't do anything at all
A5                              A5 G5
It takes money to make money they say
F5                      F5 G5
Look at the Fords, but didn't they start that way
A5    G5                    F5
Anyway, it makes no difference to me
C           G          Am        G     C          G
Men of good fortune, often wish that they could die
C                 G           Am    G       C        G
While men of poor beginnings want what they have
A5                    A5 G5
And to get it they'll die
F5                       F5 G5
All those great things that live has to give
F5                      F5 G5
They wanna have money and live
A5    G5                    F5
But me, I just don't care at all
[Outro]
C  Em  Am
       Men of good fortune
C  Em  Am
       Men of poor beginnings
