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,  
       C  E   A7     Dm      A7     Dm 
'Cause 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
