       A
He was born on the twelfth of March and the 

          G    E
winds did blow.

      A                              B
Since then ill winds still follow me everywhere 

  E
I go.

D                                  A
He's been broke in every state and every major 

A                        E               A
And every time I trust a gal she lets me down.

A                                    G   E
He sized up a little bank in Logan's Bay.

       A
Then I got to thinkin' and I lost my nerve and 

B            E
threw my gun away.

     D
They caught him down by the railroad track and 

A
run him out of town.

A                        E               A
And every time I trust a gal she lets me down.

D                                  A
Every joy I've known has turned to pain.

     D                                 E
If I pick me up they'll come along and knock me 

     A                               G    E
He's gambled away every cent he ever made.

     A                                B
If I fill my inside straight somebody else is 

        E
holdin' spades.

     D                              A
He's been unfit and unqualified for every job 

A                        E               A
And every time I trust a gal she lets me down.

D                                   A
Every love I've known has passed me by.

     D
I'll never learn cause I guess I've been passed 

E
by a thousand times.

       A                                     G   E
So, he turns to the open road and shrugs his mind.

        A                                    B
With an empty feelin' and a lonely heart without 

         E
a single dime.

       D                                        A

A                              E               A

A                    E               A     (A G A)
Every time I trust a gal she lets me down..
