[Verse]
F F A7 A7 D7 D7
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Gm Gm D7 D7 Gm Gm
Spending my money, I didn't care
Bb Bb Fdim Fdim F F D7 D7
I carried my friends out for a good time
G9 G9 Db7 Db7 C7 C7
Buying bootleg liquor, champagne and wine
F F A7 A7 D7 D7
Then I began to fall so low
Gm Gm D7 D7 Gm Gm
I didn't have a friend, and no place to go
Bb Bb Fdim Fdim F F Eb7 Eb7 D7 D7
If I ever get my hand on a dollar again
G9 G9 C7 C7
I'm gonna hold on to it till them eagle's grin

[Chorus]
F F A7 A7 D7 D7 Gm Gm D7 D7 Gm Gm
Nobody knows you when you down and out
Bb Bb Fdim Fdim F F D7 D7
In my pocket not one penny
G9 G9 Db7 Db7 C7 C7
And my friends I haven't any
F F A7 A7 D7 D7
If I ever get on my feet again
Gm Gm D7 D7 Gm Gm
I'll meet my long lost friend
Bb Bb Fdim Fdim F F D7 D7
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
G9 G9 C7 C7
Nobody knows you when you down and out
G9 G9 C9 C9 F F
I mean when you down and out

[Chorus]
F F A7 A7 D7 D7 Gm Gm D7 D7 Gm Gm
Mmmmm, when you're down and out
Bb Bb Fdim Fdim F F D7 D7
Mmmmm, not one penny
G9 G9 Db7 Db7 C7 C7
And my friends I haven't any
F F A7 A7 D7 D7
Mmmmm, well I felt so low
Gm Gm D7 D7 Gm Gm
Nobody wants me round their door
Bb Bb Fdim Fdim F F D7 D7
Mmmmm, without a doubt
G9 G9 C7 C7
No man can use you wen you down and out
G9 G9 C9 C9 F F
I mean when you down and out
