Lyrics and Chords


[Porgy and Bess]

Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'
And nuttin's plenty for me
I got no car, got no mule
I got no misery

/ G Am7 Bm Am7 / G Am7 G B7 / E A E A / E AE C# - - D /

De folks wid plenty o' plenty
Got a lock on de door
'Fraid somebody's a-goin' to rob 'em
While dey's out a-makin' more
What for

... / G Am7 Bm G / 

I got no lock on de door
Dat's no way to be
Dey kin steal de rug from de floor
Dat's okeh wid me
'Cause de things dat I prize
Like de stars in de skies
All are free

/ Bm E7sus Bm7 / Em Bm E7sus4 Bm7 / / 
     / Em Bm / Am7 D / Am7 D7 / - - - /

{Refrain}
Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'
And nuttin's plenty for me
I got my gal, got my song
Got Hebben the whole day long
No use complaining
Got my gal, got my Lawd
Got my song

/ G Am7 Bm Am7 / G Am7 G B7 / E A E A / E AE C# - - D /
   / G Am7 D Gm7 G Am7 G C / G - - Am7 D7 - /

Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'
And nuttin's plenty for me
I got the sun, got the moon
Got the deep blue sea

De folks wid plenty o' plenty
Got to pray all de day
Seems wid plenty you sure got to worry
How to keep the debbel away
Away

I ain't frettin 'bout hell
'Till de time arrive
Never worry long as I'm well
Never one to strive
To be good, to be bad
What the hell
I is glad I's alive

{Refrain}
