Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Wel[C]l m[G]y f[C]rie[G]nd Jud[D][Dm]
[F]he was a fuddy- dud
[C]Chewed his cud, was a [Bb]stick in the mud
I swear he [G]hated everyone
And he's [Bb]bumming nickels
and [Db]bumming dimes
But [C]most of all [B]you know he's
just [D]bumming [G]time[C][G]

[Verse 2]
And [D]every [Dm]day was a [F]bad day
They walked [C]out and on and [Bb]over him
He was [G]turning gray
[Bb]Never knew love [C#]he gave up on hope
[C]Stayed in bed and he [B]stopped using
soap was a [D]dirty old [G]man[C][G][C]
[D]But he nev[G]er said poo[F]r lit[C]tle old me[D][F]
[Bb]Poor [C]poor

[Verse 3]
Now [D]one fine [Dm]day he won the [F]lottery
Instant [C]millionaire [Bb]without a care
it didn't [G]change a thing
[Bb]Drove up to Reno [C#]he lost everything
at a [C]roadside casino
You [B]know he never made it [D]into town
[C]Where the bri[C#]ght lig[Cm]hts trickle dow[Ab]n
He was [D]a casualty

[Verse 4]
[D]Well he [Dm]? and he ran out of food
[F]And[C] all he got was more lew[Bb]d and crude
[F]He was [G]very [F]rud[D]e[C]
[Bb]The only thing he hated
[Db]worse than the city
Was [C]charity and [B]self [G]pity
he'd [D]been [G]around[C]
[Db]I talked to hi[Ab]m that's what I found

[Verse 5]
[Ab]He was a[D] casualty

[Verse 6]
[F]Poor [C]little old [D]me[F]
[Bb]Poor [C]poor casualty
