I’d rather be a poor man’s woman 

       F             C 
And be all he has in life 


Than to be just one more possession  

            G7         C 
In a lonely rich man’s life 


                           C7 
When I wake up he’s beside me 

      F                      C 
After years love’s still the same 


I watch his blue eyes quietly open 

                    G7      C 
I hear his two lips call my name 


C                          C7 
I’d rather be a poor man’s woman 

       F             C 
And be all he has in life 


Than to be just one more possession  

            G7         C 
In a lonely rich man’s life 


                              C7 
Lord my poor man really loves me 

        F             C 
I’m all he has to his name 


But when he holds me closer to him 

                           G7         C 
That means more to me than fortune or fame 


C                          C7 
I’d rather be a poor man’s woman 

       F             C 
And be all he has in life 


Than to be just one more possession  

            G7         C 
In a lonely rich man’s life
