[Intro] |E7 |A7 |B7 A7 | [Chorus]
E7                          A7
  And you think you've seen trouble?

                            E7      A7
Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah-ha

        E7                   B7
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story

      A7                 E7   B7
And a hard time losin' man
[Verse 1]
    E7                   A7
Oh, sometimes skies are cloudy

    B7        A7        E7   B7
And sometimes skies are blue

    E7                          A7
And sometimes they say that you eat the bear

    B7            A7        E7   B7
But sometimes the bear eats you

      E7                    A7
Well, sometimes I feel like I should go

B7        A7        E7   B7
Far, far away and hide

       E7                      A7
'Cause I keep a waitin' for my ship to come in

    B7            A7            E7
And all that ever comes is the tide
[Chorus]
                          A7
And you think you've seen trouble

                            E7      A7
Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah-ha

        E7                   B7
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story

      A7                 E7   B7
And a hard time losin' man
[Verse 2]
      E7              A7
Oh, I saved up all my money

        B7       A7     E7  B7
I gonna buy me a flashy car

     E7             A7
So I go downtown to see the man

       B7           A7    E7  B7
And he smokin' on a big cigar

         E7                     A7
Well, he must've thought I were Rockefeller

      B7     A7     E7     B7
Or an uptown man of wealth

          E7                        A7
He said, "Boy, I got the car that's made for you

         B7               A7       E7
And it's cleaner than the Board of Health"
[Bridge]
                  A7
Then I got on the highway

                 E7          A7
Oh, I feelin' fine,  I hit a bump

       E7                          B7
Then I found I bought a car held together by wire

      A7                    E7
And a couple a' hunks of twine
[Chorus]
                          A7
And you think you've seen trouble

                            E7      A7
Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah-ha

        E7                   B7
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story

      A7                 E7   B7
And a hard time losin' man
[Verse 3]
    E7            A7
Oh, Friday night, feelin' right

  B7       A7     E7
I head out on the street

E7               A7
 Standin' in the doorway

      B7     A7          E7  B7
Was a dealer known as Pete

         E7                     A7
Well, he sold me a dime of some super fine

B7            A7  E7  B7
Dynamite from Mexico

        E7                  A7
I spent all that night just tryin' to get right

      B7         A7  E7
On an ounce of oregano
[Outro]
                          A7
And you think you've seen trouble

                            E7      A7
Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah-ha

Oh, the world's own original hard luck story

      A7                 E7
And a hard time losin' man

                          A7
And you think you've seen trouble

                            E7      A7
Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah-ha
