[Gb]
Oh, you tell me that your [Ab] last [Ebm] good dollar is [Eb] gone, [Ab] and you say [Gb] that [Db] your [Gb] pockets are bare.
And you tell me that your [Ebm] clothes are tattered and torn, and [Ab] nobody seems [Db] to care.
[Gb] [Bb] Now, don't tell [Ebm] me your troubles, no, [Ab] I don't have the time [Db] to spare.
[Gb] But if you [Bb] want to [Ebm] get together [Eb] and fight, good [Abm] buddy, that's [Db] what I want [Gb] to hear.

[Ebm] But when you decide not to take no [Eb] more, [Ab] you know I'll put [Db] my [Gb] money down.
Cause I've [Bb] seen your [Ebm] kind many times [Eb] before, [Ab] and I'll [Gb] see you many times again.
Oh, but every [D] bad [Ebm] thing that's happened to [Ab] you has happened to better [Db]
