Song:

 

    4     4     7 7   -7    -6        7      -6    -6       6 6 5
When a fellow has the blues and feels discouraged
   4       5        6    6       6     -6    -8 -8    -7  -6   6
And there's nothing else but trouble all his life
    4       5       7  7       7  -6        7   -6     -6 6   6 5
When he's always grumbled at and never happy
  5   5    -5   -5   -5   -6      -8 -8 -7 -6      6
Living with a scolding, aggravating wife
4   5       7     7       7    -6 7     -6      -6     6     6 5
If he's sick and tired of life and takes to drinking
  5   -5     6       6    6      6       -5       5      -4  4    7
Do not pass him by, don't greet him with a frown
-5     6   -6  -6  -6    -7     7     7     7  -6     6    5
Do not fail to lend a hand and try to help him
  4 -4      5     5    5     5     6 -5        5      4   -4 5-4 4
Always lift him up and never knock him  down

5 -5      7       7    7    -6    7        -6  -6    6       6 5
If he stays out late at night because he's worried
 4        5    6      6      6     -6    6   -5     5     -4     7
And because his home is not what it should be
  6    -6     7     7      7      -6 7 -6     -6          6       6     5
Have a smile for him whenever you should meet him
5     5        -5    -5   -5    -6      -8      -8       -7   -6     6
It would help him just the right way, don't you see
4  5      7   7          7     -6    7  -6      -6   6  6 5
If he gambles when he's in the town or city
  5     -5      6     6      6    -6   6    -5    5    4       7
Tell him what he ought to do, to gain the crown
  -5    6     -6     -6  -6    -7    -8 7      7      -6    6 5
Lend a hand and do not fail to show him pity
   4 -4     5    5     5     5      6 -5     5        4   -4 5-4 4
Always lift him up and never knock him  down

5 -5    7    -6        7      -6      7 -6   7        -6  6     5
If he has no friends and everyone's against him
5   -5       6     6     6   5   6       -5   5     -4   7
If he's failed at everything that he has tried
  6   -6   7   7     7     -6     7   -6     7   -6     6 5
Try to lift his load, to help to bear his burden
  5    -5        6      6     6    -6     -8  -8    -7 -6    6
Let him know that you are walking by his side
  4    5 -5      7       7    7 -6    7      -6 -6   6    6 5
And if he feels that all is lost, and he is falling
  5  -5     6        6     6         -6      -7   6    5  4      7
Try to place that poor man's feet on solid ground
 -5      6  -6   -6    -6       -7      -8    7         7   -6        6 5
Just remember he's some mother's precious darling
  4  -4      5    5    5     5     6 -5       5       4   -4 5-4 4
Always lift him up and never knock him  down
   4 -4      5    5    5     5     6 -5       5       4   -4 5-4 4
Always lift him up and never knock him  down
