Verse 1:

C             G             D        G
Billy works too hard, trying to make ends meet
C             G             D        G
He's gotta pay his credit cards
C             G             D        G
Yeah he's been dealing with the odds that even Vegas can't beat
C             G             D        G
By six he's out of bed, she makes his coffee sweet
C             G             D        G
He grabs his boots & his coat, leaves a note that says I Love You
C             G             D        G
And runs to catch a bus down at the end of Market Street

Chorus:
C             G             D        G
It took some time to figure it out
C             G             D        G
He's a rich man living in a poor man's house
Em             D             C        G
He might be down, but he ain't out
C             G             D        G
He's a rich man living in a poor man's house

Verse 2:
C             G             D        G
Every night at home, feels like it's Christmas Eve
C             G             D        G
Gracie's got his dinner on the stove, Daddy's coming home
C             G             D        G
And they've got seven hungry children that are tugging on his sleeve

Bridge:
F          
He arrives at 9 as the work bell's ringing
C                        Em       D
Hits the grind but his heart is singing

SOLO (C/G/D/G x6)

Some men live for money

Some men live for work

But it's a real man, a richer man who knows what love's worth
