Intro
Verse 1
Most Of My Life I Have Lived Here On My Own
Except For A Few Occasions
Now I’ve Got To Find Myself A Home
For A Family I’ll Be Raisin’
Chorus
And It’s Hard To Stay So Sane, Sir
But Who Am I To Complain, Sir
And I Wonder, Can You Spare Some Change, Sir
Verse 2
I Can Remember When Younger
A Kid At School, They Used To Call A Fool
And I No Longer But Stronger
I’m Still The Same Fool; God, It’s Goddamn Cruel
Chorus
And It’s Hard To Stay So Sane, Sir
But Who Am I To Complain, Sir
And I Wonder, Can You Spare Some Change, Sir
Guitar Solo
Chorus
And It’s Hard To Stay So Sane, Sir
But Who Am I To Complain, Sir
And I Wonder, Can You Spare Some Change, Sir
Bridge
I Had A Dog Once, A Good Dog
Now It’s Dead
He’s The Bottom, He’s The Beggar
Over The Hills I Go
Swinging High
Chorus
And It’s Hard To Stay So Sane, Sir
But Who Am I To Complain, Sir
And I Wonder, Can You Spare Some Change, Sir
Post-Chorus
’Cause I’m Feeling Kinda Down In My Pocket, Sir
And I’m Not A Proud Man
Not A Proud Man
Not A Proud Man
I’m Beggin’
I’m Beggin’
I’m Askin’ To You, Even You
'Cause I’m Feeling Kinda Down In My Heart, Sir
And I Don’t Know What To Do
I’m Feelin’ So Blue
And I’m Beggin’ You
Beggin’ You
Beggin’ You
Outro
And I Don’t Know If My Heart Wants To Stay, It’s Right
But I’m Feelin’ So Sick And Sore
And I Need Some Money, Praying Tonight
Don’t You Know
So, Brother
