[Verse 1]
         G                                D
I got a '57 Ford and a pocket full of I.O.U.'s

                                                                G
Now they wanna come and get me for a credit card that I've over used

G
If this old jalopy's running real good tonight

C                             A
Come tomorrow morning I'll be nowhere in sight

    G                        D                          G
The law's gettin' closer and I'm getting in the mood to move
[Verse 2]
                                                           D
Hey I've got a reputation hotter than the checks that I've wrote

                                                     G
It's not that I'm dishonest the problem is honey I'm broke

G
I tried to pay the bank but they said the money's phony

       C                              A
Now my second wife is hounding me for alimony

   G                         D                   G
If Isabelle should call just tell her I'm in Mexico   or somewhere
[Chorus]
             C                                           G
You know I'd like to get a bottle and drink my troubles away

    B7                                            Em   G
But come tomorrow morning I'd still have bills to pay

C                                         G     E7
I'd feel sorry for anybody standing in my shoes

           C
Cause it's hard to jump for joy

         D                  G     G
When you got a case of I.O. blues
[Solo] G G D D D D G D G G G C A G D G G [Chorus]
             C                                           G

    B7                                            Em   G
But come tomorrow morning I'd still have bills to pay

C                                         G     E7
I'd feel sorry for anybody standing in my shoes

           C
Cause it's hard to jump for joy

When you got a case of I.O. blues

           C                                          G     E7
I said I'd sure feel sorry for anybody standing in my shoes

           C                             D                  G     G
