WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Ray Charles - I Had It All Chords | Ver. 1
[Verse 1]
G
He was just an old Honky Tonk singer
C
Perched on a stool at the end of the room
D
And over his head a light bulb was swaying
G
Keeping rhythm to each of his tunes
He sang stories of bygone glories
C
And how lady luck can change
D
And I was content just to hear his lament
G
And listen to all that he said
[Chorus]
C G C/G
I had it all (He said that) I had it all
D
I’ve been a rich man to a poor man
Black suits to leather
G
Jailhouse to the Taj Mahal
C G C/G
I had it all I had it all
D
Large vans to limos
Lounge acts in Reno
G
Even down in old Carnegie Hall
[Verse 2]
G
Yes it seems he was raised to a reasonable age
C
By a loving Mom and Dad
D
But he soon decided that he’d hit the stage
G
And give up everything he had
Well he got a shot and he went straight to the top
C
Man he just couldn’t loose
D
Till whiskey and smoke cut off all the high notes
G
And now all he can sing is the blues
[Chorus]
C G C/G
I had it all I had it all
D
A rich man to a poor man
Black suits to leather
G
Jailhouse to the Taj Mahal
C G C/G
Said I had it all I had it all
D
Large vans to limos
Lounge acts in Reno
G
Even down in old Carnegie Hall
[Verse 3]
(One more thing)
G
Well of course there was a woman
C
He loved along the way
D
But he hit rock bottom and she soon forgot him
G
And now all that he can say is
[Chorus]
C G C/G
I had it all I had it all
D
I’ve been a rich man to a poor man
Black suits to leather
G
Jailhouse to the Taj Mahal
C G C/G
I had it all I had it all
D
Large vans to limos
Lounge acts in Reno
G
Even down in old Carnegie Hall
(Repeat and fade)
