[Intro]

Gm Dm Gm Gm Eb- D7-
Gm Dm A7- D7-
Eb Dm Eb Dm Eb Dm C-

Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb

Bb Eb Bb Eb
Can you believe me when I say there's nothing I like better
Bb Eb Bb Eb
Than just to sit here and talk with you
Bb Eb Bb Eb
Although I'll rant and I'll rave about one thing and another
Bb Eb
The beauty of it is, hope you’ll agree
Bb Eb
Though I'm a poor boy
Bb Eb
I can still be happy
Bb Eb
As long as I can feel free

Bb Eb Bb Eb
So many people I know getting old way too early
(Well are you feeling kind of weary?)
Bb Eb Bb Eb
Just to impress you with the money they made
(You better, you better, you better change your theory)
Bb Eb Bb Eb
One drop of rain they complain, and it's the same about the wage they're earning
Bb Eb
Well that is not the way I'm gonna be

Bb Eb
Don't mind the rain, don't mind snow
C7 Gb F Eb Db
Don't mind nothing, if I know
Cm Ebm
You will be right here with me

Bb Dm
We're gonna state our lonely point of view
Ab Gm
Why can't we all afford to live like you?
Bb Dm
The simple life is simply not enough
Ab Gm
We have appearances we must keep up

[Clarinet Solo]

Gm Dm Eb Dm
Dm Dm Eb C

Bb Eb
Poor boy, if that's the way it's gotta be
Bb Eb
Poor boy, it's you for you and me for me
Bb Eb
Poor boy

Bb Eb Bb Eb
I've tried all I can understanding all the fools and all their money
Bb Eb Bb Eb
When half of what they got you know they never will use
Bb Eb Bb Eb
Enough to get by suits me fine, I don't care if they think I'm funny
Bb Eb
I'm never gonna change my point of view

Bb Eb
Don't mind the rain, don't mind snow
C7 Gb F Eb Db
Don't mind nothing, if I know
Cm Ebm
You will be right here with me
Bb
All the way, na-na-nah

Bb Eb
Don't mind the rain, don't mind snow
C7 Gb F Eb Fb
Don't mind nothing, If I know
Cm Ebm
You will be right here with me

[Outro]

Gm Dm C Dm
Gm Dm C Dm (repeat to fade)


- Most of the chords (especially the Eb and Bb) are power chords (except
the A7 and D7), some of the less common chords may be a little out due to
the song being played on piano and tabbed for guitar, but I did the best
I could given that I don't yet have a piano. These chords should work on
piano, although some adjustment might be necessary.

Great song, one of my favourites by Supertramp, enjoy.
