_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Nobody knows how blue I am, alone and broke [A] in Birmingham
Washing dishes for a bite to eat, sleeping nights [D] on a rundown street
My only shoes are paper thin, I've hocked my clothes [G] everywhere I've been
I'm down to nothing [D] and here I am, [A] alone and [D] broke in Birmingham _
_ Why did I leave a good hometown, to ride the [A] freights and bum around
The girl that's waiting is mighty sweet, but I can't [D] wait till I'm on my feet
Down on my luck but I still got my pride, can't find a [G] job but oh how I tried
Ain't got the [D] price of a [A] telegram, alone and broke in [D] Birmingham

I've heard a thousand lows and they all hurt, who wants [A] a man in a dirty shirt
I can't keep going with this heavy load, sometimes I [D] think it's the end of the road
A man's got hope though he's not got a dime, he keeps [G] living just a breath at a time
I can't wait till I'm out of this [A] jam, alone [D] and broke in Birmingham
