D             Bm
Mr Maker he’s got it made
  F#m                   A   G   F#m Em
A beautiful wife and a baby on the way
D                    Bm
And his bills are already paid
F#m                 A     G  F#m Em
No need to skimp no need to save

But all around him the world grows hard
He thinks to himself he must have played a lucky card
If he was alone he'd give it all away
To people and things that he wanted to save

Chorus:
Bm     Em           A
But oh no it’s all right
    D     A/C#     Bm
Mr Maker he’ll be fine
     Em         A
It alright it’s ok
    D          A/C#    Bm
Because of the love he gave away
    E       A
Oh yeah oh yeah

Doesn't stop to think that it's because of he
Always doing right, he stays healthy
The girls in the alleys won't get hold of him
He's got no time for that kind of sin

And he, he's not a member of the Catholic Church
The pastor of his town got sent down for dirt
He sees the boys from Sunday school
It's hard to believe what he read in the morning news

Chorus

G            A
Heart beat stay heavy
G                     A                    D Bm
Love us all please, stay on your feet for me
    F#m   A                   D  Bm
For me, stay on your feet for me
   F#m    A                   Bm
For me, stay on your feet for me

Chorus
