Verse 1: 
D               A 
   When I was a young boy, 
D       A 
   Mama said to me, 
Em                        A 
   "Son your daddy's left home today, 
Em                            A 
   I think he's packed up and gone to stay." 
D               A 
   We packed up all of our bags, 
D                     A 
   And traveled up to Winnipeg 
 
A*  G* (x2) 
 
D                 A 
   When we got to Winnipeg, 
D            A 
   I checked in to school 
Em                  A 
   Wore white bucks on my feet, 
Em                        A 
   Got to learn about the Golden Rule 
D                   A 
   The punches came fast and hard, 
D                          A 
   Lying on my back in the schoolyard 
 
A*  G* (x2) 
 
Chorus: 
D             A 
   Don't be denied 
D             A 
   Don't be denied 
Em            A 
   Don't be denied 
Em            A 
   Don't be denied 
D             A 
   Oh, friend of mine 
D             A 
   Don't be denied 
 
A*  G* (x2) 
 
Verse 2: 
Pretty soon I met a friend, 
Who played guitar 
We'd set on the steps at school, 
And dream of being stars 
We started a band, 
We played all night 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Verse 3: 
Oh, the business men came around, 
And they listened to our sound 
There we were on Sunset strip, 
Playing songs for the highest bid 
Oh, we played all night, 
If the price was right 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Verse 4: 
Well, all the glitters isn't gold, 
I know you heard the story told, 
And I'm a pauper in a naked disguise, 
A millionaire through a businessman's eyes 
Oh, friend of mine 
Don't be denied 
 
(Chorus)
