Intro: Am Am7/G F E
VERSE 1:
Am Am7/G
Come the day break, just another day
F E
In the life of a beggar man
Am Am7/G
Trying hard to get out of it, get about a bit
F E
See that great big world, he's read about
Am E
But never seen

VERSE 2:
Am Am7/G
When the time comes, the time for moving on
F E
In the mind of a beggar man
Am Am7/G
All the places he's got to go, why he doesn't know
F E
They just come to mind, one by one
Am Am7/G F
Like the bullets from a magazine
E
He walks away, to dream about
CHORUS:
C Em
The day
Dm7 G
When he could say
C Em
Goodbye and close the door
Dm7 G
On yesterday
Am F E
A beggar man no more
Repeat Intro Twice

Am Am7/G
When the night comes ends another day
F E
In the life, of a beggar man
Am Am7/G
He tried hard to get out of it get about a bit
F E
See that great big world he read about
Am
In the pages of the magazine
Am7/G F E
That keeps him warm through the hours when he sleeps
To dream about
CHORUS
The song ends with the chords and melody of the verse singing "do do do do do" and fading out.
