Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Dm         A  Dm       A7  Dm
Spent all my money, just did not care
F        F7          C      C/B  A
Took all my friends out for a mighty good time
 D7            G7
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine.
 C    E    A  A7   A
Then I began to fall so low
Dm        A            Dm     A Dm
Lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go
F         F7      C   C/B    A
If I get my hands on a dollar again
            D7         G7
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins, 'cause
C  E   A7     Dm      A7    Dm
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
 F    D7     C   C/B  A7
In your pocket, not one penny
  D           G
And as for friends, you don't have any
C         E         A  A7  A
Then when you get back on your feet again
Dm      A          Dm   A7   Dm
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend 
 F         F7     C   C/B   A
It's mighty strange, without any doubt
D7               G7    C
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
 G7   C        E          A  A7  A
When you finally get back upon your feet again
Dm     A          Dm    A7    Dm
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend 
   F        D7      C   C/B   A
Said it's mighty strange, without any doubt
 F  Dm7     G      C       E7
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
F        D7       C      A7
It's mighty strange, without any doubt
 F  Fdim          G  Fdim     G     C
Nobody knows you when you're down, you're down and out
