Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out
(Eric Clapton Unplugged)
C E A7
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Dm A7 Dm A7
Spending all my money didn't have any cares
F D7 C A7
Took all my friends out for a mighty good time
C G
We bought bootleg liquor, champagne and wine
C E A7
Then I began to fall so low
Dm A7 Dm A7
Lost all my good friends, had no where to go
F D7 C A7
If I get my hands on a dollar again
C G
I'll hang on to it, till that old eagle grins
Chorus:
C E A7
Because nobody loves you
Dm A7 Dm A7
When you're down and out
F D7 C A7
In your pocket, not one penny
C G
And as for friends, you don't have many.
C E A7
When you get back on your feet again
Dm A7 Dm A7
Everybody wants to be your long lost friend
F D7 C A7
I said it straight, without any doubt
C G
Nobody knows you, when your down and out.
