[Chorus]

         B                 G#m
I'm gonna use what I got to get what I need
         B                           G#m
I'm gonna use what I use all I got to get what I need, yeah

[Verse 1]

B                               G#m
Look, I was born in a little old shack
           B                         F#
Didn't have enough to eat, not enough clothes on my back
E                             F#
Lord knows I kept the faith, a heart full of woe
E                                  F#
Now they're trying to get me at the end of my road

[Chorus]

         B                 G#m
I'm gonna use what I got to get what I need
         B                           G#m
I'm gonna use what I use all I got to get what I need, yeah

[Verse 2]

B                       G#m
The rich is content while the poor do without
B                        F#
If you ask for some help, they don't know what you're talking about
E                  F#       
All say they answer as if they're on the wind
E                    F#
It changes sometimes, that's why I'm afraid

[Chorus]

           B                 G#m
I've got to use what I got to get what I need
         B                           G#m
I'm gonna use what I use all I got to get what I need, yeah

[Verse 3]

   B               G#m
The road of life is mighty steep
           B                           F#              
When you're broke, busted and disgusted for you ain't got nowhere to sleep
E                           F#
I'm gonna find me a woman to stand by my side
E                                    F#
'Cause I'm so tired of running, can't find no place to hide

[Chorus]

B                 G#m
Use what I got to get what I need
         B                           G#m
I'm gonna use what I use all I got to get what I need, yeah
B                G#m
Use what I got to get what I need
         B           G#m
Said I've got to...
