[Intro]
 
A G F#m Em
(that is that really quick change part that happens throughout the song, just concentrate
on playing the bass notes in those chords rather than strumming and it will sound fine)
D    Bm    F#m    A G F#m Em x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
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
 
D                  Bm
But all around him the world grows hard
F#m                               A  G   F#m Em
He thinks to himself he must have played a lucky card
D                    Bm
If he was alone he’d give it all away
F#m                  A  G   F#m Em
To people and things he wanted to say
 
Bm
 
[Chorus]
 
        Em         A
But oh no it’s all right
D         D/C#      Bm
Mr Maker he’ll be fine
     Em         A
It alright it’s ok
D              D/C#    Bm
Because of the love he gave away
E       A       A7
Oh yeah oh yeah
 
 
[Instrumental]
D  Bm F#m
A  G  F#m  Em
 
D  Bm F#m
A  G  F#m  Em
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
D                            Bm
Doesn't stop to think it's because of he
F#m                           A   G   F#m    Em
Always doing right, he stays healthy
D                                  Bm
The girls in the alley won't get a hold of him
F#m                   A   G   F#m  Em
He's got no time for that kind of sin
 
D                               Bm
And he, he's not a member of the Catholic Church
        F#m                 A    G   F#m   Em
The pastor of his town got sent down for dirt
 D                    Bm
He sees the boys from Sunday school
      F#m                       A     G    F#m    Em
It's hard to believe what he read in the morning news
 
Bm
 
[Chorus]
 
        Em         A
But oh no it’s all right
D         D/C#      Bm
Mr Maker he’ll be fine
     Em         A
It alright it’s ok
D              D/C#    Bm
Because of the love he gave away
E       A       A7
Oh yeah oh yeah
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Em              A
Heart beat stay heavy
Em                  A              A7       D   Bm
Love us all please, stay on your feet for me
F#m     A          G       F#m        Em      D   Bm
For me, stay on your feet for me
F#m     A          G       F#m        Em      D   Bm
For me, stay on your feet for me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        Em         A
But oh no it’s all right
D         D/C#      Bm
Mr Maker he’ll be fine
     Em         A
It alright it’s ok
D              D/C#    Bm
Because of the love he gave away
E       A
Oh yeah
    A7
oh yeahhhhh

You should play a few measures of Bm after the last Em in the verse, before the chorus. I forgot to put that in there.

The Dmaj9 in the chorus should be a D/C# [X 4 0 2 3 2]

Great chords!! I think at the end of the chorus (oh yeahs) it should be Emaj not Em. And in the bridge it should be G instead of Em. Cheers
