Witho[Bbsus2]Without seeing his face today.
And th[F]the girl with empty pockets

wear the same siz[Bbsus2]size hat their father wears.
And t[F]the girl, now a woman, says

[Bbsus2]and single millionaires.
And she is t[Bb]the H and
h[Bb]he is the O
F[F]For us, humble

[Fsus2]everyone.
[Dmaj7]And we [Fsus2] might spel[Bb]spell you,
[Eb]But we're nothing like you.
