Tom : C
C E A A7 A
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Dm A Dm A7 Dm
Spent all my money, just did not care
F F7 C C/B A
Took all my friends out for a mighty good time
D7 G7
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine.
C E A A7 A
Then I began to fall so low
Dm A Dm A Dm
Lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go
F F7 C C/B A
If I get my hands on a dollar again
D7 G7
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins, 'cause
C E A7 Dm A7 Dm
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
F D7 C C/B A7
In your pocket, not one penny
D G
And as for friends, you don't have any
C E A A7 A
Then when you get back on your feet again
Dm A Dm A7 Dm
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
F F7 C C/B A
It's mighty strange, without any doubt
D7 G7 C
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
G7 C E A A7 A
When you finally get back upon your feet again
Dm A Dm A7 Dm
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
F D7 C C/B A
Said it's mighty strange, without any doubt
F Dm7 G C E7
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
F D7 C A7
It's mighty strange, without any doubt
F Fdim G Fdim G C
Nobody knows you when you're down, you're down and out
