Once I lived a life of a millionaire,

Had lots of money, I hadn't care.

D# A7 F G7

To call my friends out for good times

C7 F7

Buying champagne, licor and plenty of wine

Bb D7 G7

Then when my money begun to get low

Cm G7 Cm

Didn't have no friends, no place to go

D# A7 F G7

whenever I get my hands on a dolar again

C7 F7

I'm gonna squeeze it until that eagle grins.

Bb D7 G7

No nobody wants you

Cm G7 Cm

when you're down and out

In your pocket's not one penny

Then when you find your feet again

Everybody wants to come be your long lost friend

mighty strange without a doubt
