Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Dm A7 Dm A7 Dm
Spent all my money, just didn`t have any care,
F F#dim C C/B A7
Took all my friends out for a mighty good time,
D D7 G G7
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine.
C E7 A7
Then I began to fall so low;
Dm A7 Dm A7 Dm
Lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go.
F F#dim C C/B A7
If I get my hands on a dollar a – gain,
D D7 G G7
I’m gonna hang on to it till that old eagle grins, ’cause
Refrain:
C E7 A7 Dm A7 Dm A7 Dm
No – body knows you when you’re down and out;
F F#dim C C/B A7
In your pocket, not one penny;
D D7 G G7
And as for friends, you don’t have any.
C E7 A7
When you get back on your feet a – gain
Dm A7 Dm A7 Dm
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
F F#dim C C/B A7
It’s mighty strange, without any doubt

Nobody knows you when you’re down and out.

It’s mighty strange, without any doubt,

Nobody knows you when you’re down, you’re down and out.
