Verse 1
(G major) Arthur was born
just a plain simple man
In a plain (D major) simple working
class po (G major) sition
Though the world was hard
and its ways were set
He was (D major) young and he
had so much am (G major) bition
All the way he was overtaken
By the (D major) people who make
the big de (G major) cisions
But he tried and he tried for a better life
And a way (D major) to improve his own con (G major) dition
If (C major) only life were easy it would
be such fun (G major) (F major) (C major)
(G major) Things (C major) would be more equal and be
plenty for every (B flat major) one (F major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) Arthur the world's gone
and passed you by
Don't you (G major) know it, don't you (C major) know it
You can cry, cry all night but it
won't make it right
Don't ya (G major) know it, don't ya (C major) know it
