[F#] Another one of my favorite songs.
[A#] It's like a poem.
What about it?
[D] I [Bm]
[Em] [Bm] [Em]
[Bm] [B] [F#]
[Em] [D]
[F#m] once lived the life of a [Bm] millionaire
[G] [Em] Spending [B] my money [Em] and I didn't care
[G] [Bm] Taking my friends out for a mighty [F#] time
I'm [G] buying [Em] high priced cigarettes
And I'm craving [A] champagne and [D] wine
But [F#m] I began to [Bm] fall so low
[G] [Em] Didn't [B] have a friend, I had [Em] no place to go
[G] If [Bm] I could get my hands on a [F#] dollar again
[G] [Em] I'd squeeze it till [A] that old evil [D] grin
Cause [F#m] no nobody [B] loves you
[Bm] [G] [Em] [Bm] When you're [Em] down and out
[G] [Em] [Bm] In your pocket space, [F#] nine [G] penny
[Em] And your friends, [A] well you [E] just, [A] you haven't any
[D] Oh but as soon as [F#m] you get up on [Bm] your feet again
[G] [C#] [B] Everybody's trying to [Em] be your long lost friend
[F#m] I [G] said, it's mighty [B] [Bm] strange boys without [C] a [B] doubt
[G] [Em] Nobody [B] loves you when [Bm] you're down [D] and out
[Bm]
[Em] [Bm] [Em]
[Bm] [D] [F#]
[G] [Em]
[D] [F#m] No, [Bm] nobody loves you [Em] when [B] you're down [Em] and out
[Bm] In your pocket space, [C] nine penny
[G] [Em] And your friends, [A] well you just, you haven't any
[D] Oh but as soon as you [F#m] get up [Bm] on your feet again
[Em] [B] Everybody's [F#m] trying to [Em] be your long lost friend
I [G] said, it's mighty [Bm] strange boys [C] without a doubt
[G] [Em] Nobody loves you [Am] when you're [Bm] down and out
I [G] said, [A#] nobody [E] loves you when [A] you're [A#] down and out
[D]
