NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU’RE DOWN AND OUT- Derek and the Dominos
C E A A7 A
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Dm A Dm
Spent all my money, just did not care
F F7 C C/B A
Took all my friends out for a good time
D7 G7
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I’m gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins, yeah
Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you’re down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don’t have any
When you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend
Said it’s mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you’re down and out
When you finally get back upon your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend
Said it’s mighty strange
D7 D#7 E7 F7
Nobody knows you
F7 E7 D#7 D7
Nobody knows you
G7 C F7 C G7 C
Nobody knows you when you’re down and out
