VERSE 1:
[C] Once I lived the
[E7] life of a
[A7] millionaire
[Dm] Spent all my
[A7] money, didn't
[Dm] have any care
[F] Took all my
[Fm] friends out for a
[C] mighty good
[A7] time
[D7] We bought bootleg liquor,
[G7] champagne and wine
VERSE 2:
[C] Then I be-
[E7]-gan to
[A7] fall so low
[Dm] Lost all my
[A7] good friends, had
[Dm] nowhere to go
[F] Well if I get my
[Fm] hands on a
[C] dollar a-
[A7]-gain
[D7] I'll hang on to it, till that
[G7] old eagle grins
CHORUS:
[C] No-
[E7]-body
[A7] knows you
[Dm] When your
[A7] down and
[Dm] out
[F] In your
[Fm] pocket,
[C] not one
[A7] penny
[D7] And as for friends, you
[G7] don't have many
POST-CHORUS
[C] When I get
[E7] back on my
[A7] feet again
[Dm] Everybody
[A7] wants to be your
[Dm] long lost friend
[F] It's mighty

[C]-out any
[A7] doubt
[D7] Nobody Knows you, when your
[G7] down and out
