[C] [G]
Once I [D#] lived the life [B] [E] of a millionaire, [Am]
spending [E] my money [Am]
and I didn't care.
I [C]
[Gm] took all [G] my friends out for a very [E] good time, [A]
bought bootleg whiskey, [F#]
champagne and [D] wine.
[G]
But when [F#m] I began [E] to fall so low, [Am]
[E] didn't have a friend, [Am]
had no place to go.
[Gm]
So if [G] I ever get my hands on a dollar [E] again,
[A] I'm gonna hang on to [C#] it
[F#] till the eagle grins.
[G]
No, [B]
[E] nobody knows you
[Am] [E] when you're down [Am] and out.
[C] [C#m] In my pocket,
[G] [E] not one penny,
[F#m] and [A] all my so-called friends, [C] I haven't any.
[D]
[Em] [B] But just as soon as I [E] get on my feet again, [Am] oh honey I know, [E] here they come running, [Am] all
my long lost friends.
[C] It's [C#m] mighty strange, [G] oh [E] but without a doubt,
[A] nobody knows you [D] when you're [G] down and out.

When I fell low,
[Am] [E]
[Am] they didn't want me around the door [E]
[C] [C#]
[G] [E]
[A] and used me.
When [C] I was down and [G]
[A] [Gm] [B]
[E] out, yeah.
[A#m]
[Am] When [E] you're
[Am]
[C] down [A#] in my
[G] [E]
[A] pocket, and my so-called friends,
[C] Lord I [G] didn't have any.
[D#m] When I got
[E] my feet again, [Am]
[E] here they come, [Am] here they come, all my long lost [E] friends.
It's [C#] mighty funny, [G]
but ain't [A]
nobody wants you, and nobody [C] loves [G] you, [Em]
nobody [A#] needs you,
[Em]
nobody loves you, [A]
[Em] nobody [C] wants [C#] you [G]
when you're down
[C] [G] [A#] and out.
Take [C] my [G] word, they can't be bothered.
[Em]
