Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Sta[G]ndi[A]ng [D]on [G]a c[Am]orner[Dsus4],[G][Am][D]
[G]singing the blues
[D]Pock[G]ets full [B]of empties,
[Em]holes in my sh[E]oes
[Am]Chomping on th[E]e butt of
[Am]a ten -cent cigar
[E]Chop[A]ping out the changes
on a [D]beat -up guitar
I've [G]sung this song before,
[A]I'm[D] si[G]nging it again,[Am]
[Dsus4]those dea[G]r,
[Em]dim days [B]of [Em]way back w[E]hen,
before the good [Am]time
charlies [E]left [Am]me f[E]lat.
[A]If you like the music,
drop a dime [G]in the [D]hat,
But once [G]I led the life
[B]of [E]a millionaire
Spend[Am]ing my [D]money, I[Am] didn't care
[G]Tak[C]ing my [F#]friends out [G]for
a good [E]time
I'm buying [Am]high -priced
[D]liquor[Ebdim]
[D]Champagne wine whe[G]n
I began [B]to [E]fall so low
I [Am]didn't [D]have a friend, [Am]no place t[G]o go,
[C]never get my [F#]hands on a d[G]ollar again,
[E]I'm gonna [D]hold on [Ebdim]to it till [D]George
Washington screams
[G]cause nobody [B]knows [E]you.
[Am]When you're [D]down and [Am]out ,
[C]in your pock[F#]et not [G]one[Em] penny,[A]
[D]and your friends you [Gm]haven't any[D],
but as [G]soon as you get back
[E]on your feet again,
[Am]then you'll find your long -lost friends.
[C]It's [G]mighty strange without a doubt
[E]Nobody [G]kno[D]ws you
when you're [G]down and [D]out
[G][F#][E][A][E][Am][C][F#][G]
[E][A][D][G][D][G][F#][G][Em][E]
[Am][A][E][Am][C][F#][G][E][A][D]
[G]I'm[E] go[A]ing[D][G][D]
[G]Mmmm, [E]whe[D]n you're down
[Am]and out
[D]Mmmm, [G]I'd want
Penny [A]and [G]your friends
[D]You haven't [G]any
Mmmm, [E]never felt [Am]so low
[E]Nobody want[D]s me round their door
Mmmm, [G]without a doubt
[A]Nobody knows you
[D]when you're [G]down and out
I mean, [A]no [D]gal can ease you
when you're down and out
[G][C][F#][G][E][A][D][G]
You
