[Verse]
C E7 A7
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Dm A7 Dm A7
Spending my money, I didn't care
C E7 C A7
I carried my friends out for a good time
Dm A7 D7 G7
Buying bootleg liquor, champagne and wine
C E7 A7
Then I began to fall so low
Dm A7 Dm A7
I didn't have a friend, and no place to go
C E7 C A7
So if I ever get my hand on a dollar again
Dm A7 D7 G7
I'm gonna hold on to it till them eagle's grin
[Chorus]
C E7 A7
Nobody knows you when you down and out
Dm A7 Dm A7
In my pocket not one penny
[Verse]
C E7 C A7
And my friends I haven't any
Dm A7 D7 G7
But If I ever get on my feet again
C E7 A7
Then I'll meet my long lost friend
Dm A7 Dm A7
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
[Chorus]
C E7 C A7
Nobody knows you when you down and out
Dm A7 D7 G7
I mean when you down and out
[Chorus]
C E7 A7
Mmmmm, when you're down and out
Dm A7 Dm A7
Mmmmm, not one penny
[Verse]
C E7 C A7
And my friends I haven't any
Dm A7 D7 G7
Mmmmm, well I felt so low
C E7 A7
Nobody wants me around their door
Dm A7 Dm A7
Mmmmm, without a doubt
Dm A7 D7 G7
No man can use you when you down and out
C E7 A7
I mean when you down and out
