Lyrics

(C)Once I lived a (E7)life of a (A7)millionaire,

(Dm)spent all my (A7)money, didn't (Dm)have any cares,

(F)took all my (F#dim7)friends out for a (C)mighty good (A7)time.

(D7)We bought bootleg liquor,

(G7)champagne and wine.

(C)Then I began (E7)to fall (A7)so low,

(Dm)lost all my (A7)good friends, had (Dm)nowhere to go.

(F)If I get my (F#dim7)hands on a (C)dollar (A7)again,

(D7)I'll hang on to it 'til that (G7)old eagle grins (C)because (E7)nobody knows (A7)you

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

(F)In your (F#dim)pocket,

(C)not one penny,

(D7)and as for friends,

you (G7)don't have any.

(C)When you get (E7)back on your (A7)feet again,

(Dm)ev'rybody (A7)wants to be your (Dm)long lost friend.

(F)I said it straight (F#dim)(C)without any (A7)doubt,

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