[verse #1]
       Am7
It's a beggars life, said the Queen of Spain

                            G/A
But don't tell it to a poor man

           Fmaj7           F6
Cause he's got to kill for every thrill
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
    E7+9          C D      C
The best he can

Am7
Everywhere around me

                       G/A
I see jealousy and may hem

        Fmaj7                 F6
Because no men have all their peace of mind
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
   E7+9           C D      C
To carry them
[chorus]
     Dm7
Well I don't really care

        Em7
If it's wrong or if it's right

       Fmaj7
But un til my ship comes in

          Em7   Dm7 G   
I'll live night by  ni -

         Am7
When the joker tried to tell me

                            G/A
I could cut it in this rube town

        Fmaj7              F6
Then he tried to hang that sign on me
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
       E7+9          C D      C
I said Take it down

         Am7
When the dawn patrol got to tell you twice 

                                G/A
They're gonna do it with a shot gun

         Fmaj7           F6        
Yes, I'm cashing in this ten-cent life
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
    E7+9            C D      C
For another one
[chorus]
       Dm7
Well I ain't got the heart

   Em7
To lose another fight

      Fmaj7
So un til my ship comes in

          Em7   Dm7 G   
I'll live night by  ni -
