1.  Strophe:
C                   E7        A   A7
Once I lived a life of a millionaire,
Dm              A                          Dm
Spent all my money, didn't have any cares.
F                                          C                 A
Took all my friends out for a mighty good time.
D7                                    G7
We bought bootleg liqvor, champagne and wine.

2.  Strophe:
Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go.
If I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'll hang on to it til I ? ? ?, because.

Refrain:
C   E7    A        A7
Nobody knows you
Dm               A            Dm
When you're down and out.
F                      C          A
In your pocket, not one penny,
D7                               G7
And as for friends, you don't have any.

3.  Strophe:
When you get back on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your long lost friend.
I said it straight without any doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
