Chords

(Jimmy Cox) Yes, this is the same song the Clapton covered. I use a lot of four-note voicings, and alternating and walking bass lines. [Verse]
 F     A7    D7
Once I was a millionaire

Gm           D7        Gm
Spent all my money, I just didn't care

Bb            Bdim7        F7   Eb7   D7
I took all my friends out, for a good time

G7                      C7
Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne, and wine

F      A7       D7
Then I began to fall so low

Gm        D7            Gm
Lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go

Bb       Bdim7      F7    Eb7 D7
I get my hands on a dollar a-gain

G7                     C7
I'm gonna squeeze it 'til that eagle grins, because
[Chorus]
F A7   D7        Gm          D7       Gm
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

Bb      Bdim7   F7  Eb7 D7
In your pocket, not one penny

G7               C7
And your friends you know you haven't any

F              A7          D7
As soon as you get on your feet again

Gm   C7           Gm   C7   Gm
Everybody is your long lost friend

Bb          Bdim7    F7     Eb7 D7
It's mighty strange, without a doubt

G7                           C7
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
G7 Db7 C7 F7 Break Repeat End on an F6 or 13 Nobody wants you when you're down and out
