John Prine – Thats The Way That The World Goes Round (Guitar Live)

C
I know a guy that's got a lot to lose.

       F
He's a pretty nice fellow but he's kind of confused.

         C
He's got muscles in his head that ain't never been used.

                           G
Thinks he own half of this town.

C
Starts drinking heavy, gets a big red nose.

F
Beats his old lady with a rubber hose,

        C
then he takes her out to dinner and buys her new clothes.

           G                        C
That's the way that the world goes 'round.

C
That's the way that the world goes 'round.

       F
You're up one day, the next you're down.

       C
It's a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown.

                        G           C
That's the way that the world goes 'round.

      C
I was sitting in the bathtub counting my toes,

         F
when the radiator broke, water all froze.

      C
I got stuck in the ice without my clothes,

                       G
naked as the eyes of a clown.

      C
I was crying ice cubes hoping I'd croak,

         F
when the sun come through the window, the ice all broke.

  C
I stood up and laughed, thought it was a joke

           G                        C
That's the way that the world goes 'round.

C
That's the way that the world goes 'round.

       F
You're up one day, the next you're down.

       C
