Lyrics

Once I lived the (E7)life of a (A7)millionaire.

(F)Spent all my (A7)money, I (Dm)didn't care

(F)Carrying my (F#dim7)friends out (C)for a good time,

buying (D7)bootleg liquor, champagne and wine.

(C)Then I (E7)began to fall so low,

I (F)didn't have a friend, and (Dm)no place to go.

But if I (F)ever get my hands (F#dim7)on a (C)dollar again,

I'm gonna (D7)hold on to it 'til them eagles grin.

(C)(E7)Nobody (A7)knows you

(F)when you're (A7)down and (Dm)out.

(F)In my (F#dim7)pocket, not (C)one penny.

(D7)And my friends, I haven't (G7)any.

But (C)if I ever (E7)get on my feet again,

(F)then I'll (A7)meet my (Dm)long lost friend.

(F)It's not as (F#dim7)strange

(C)without a (A)doubt,

(D7)nobody knows you when you're (G7)down and (C)out.

I (D7)mean when you're (G7)down and (C)out.
