Chords for Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out - Dave Van Ronk

_ _ _ [A] _ _ [F#] _ [B] _ [E] _
_ [A] _ _ [F#] _ _ [Em] _ [A] _
[B] Standing on a corner, [E] _ _ [F#m] singing the [B] [E] blues, _ [A] pockets [C#] full of empty, [F#m] _ [F#] holes in my [B] shoes,
_ [F#] chomping on the butt [B] of a ten cent [F#] cigar, _ [B] _ chopping out the [E] changes on a beat up guitar. _ _ _
_ [F#m] I've sung this [B] song before, [E] _
[A] [Bm] I'm singing it again, [E] [F#m] those dear [C#] dim days,
[F#m] of [F#] way back when, before [Bm] the good time, [F#] charlies, _ [B] _ [F#] left me flat.
_ [B] _ _ If you like the music, [E] drop a dime in the [G#] hat, [A] but once [C#] I led the life [F#] _ of a millionaire.
_ [Bm] _ [B] Spending my money, [C#m] _ [Bm] _ _
I didn't [A] care, [D] _ _ [G#] taking my friends [A] out for [F#] a good [B] time,
I'm buying high priced liquor, [E] _ _ [F#] [Gm] champagne [E] _ [Am]
wine, [C#] when I began [F#] to fall so low.
[Bm] _ I didn't have a [D] friend, [C#m] _ [Bm] _
no place to [A] go, [D] _ if I get [G#] my [F#m] hands on a dollar [B] again,
I'm gonna hold on [E] to it, [B] _ _ [E] [F] till [D#] George [G#m] Washington [A] screams, cause _ [C#] nobody [F#] knows you. _
_ [Bm] _ [Em] When you're [C#m] [Bm] down and out, _ [A] _ [D] _ in [G#] your pocket, [A] _ [F#] not one [B] penny,
_ and [F] your friends, [F#] you _ [E] haven't [A] anybody, soon as [C#] you get back [F#] on your feet again, _ _
[Bm] _ [E] then you'll [F#] find [Bm] your long [A] lost [D] friends, _ [G#] it's mighty [A] strange, without [F#] a doubt,
[B] _ [A] nobody [B] knows you [E] when [F#m] you're [E] down and [Am] _ out.

[Em] _ [Bm] _ When you're down and [C#]
[Bm] out, _ _ _ [E] _ [G#] _ _ [A] _
[F#] not one penny,
_ [B] [F#m] and your friends, [E] _ you haven't [A] any, _ [C#m] _ _
[F#] never felt so [Bm] low.
_ _ [F#m]
Nobody wants me [Bm] around their door, _ _
[G#] _ [A] _ without [F#] a doubt,
[B] _
nobody knows you [E] when [A] you're down and out, [F#] I [E]
[B] mean,
[Em] no girl can [C#] ease you [E] when you're down [A] and out.
